18 days left in my probation — what should I do? I have 18 days left until my probation ends, but I have no clarity whether I’ll be confirmed or terminated. I’ve asked my seniors multiple times, but they keep ignoring the question. After repeated PIPs, terminations, replacements, and job changes,

Please i’ve heard enough of dont do this and that. I just want to know what to expect. Is jail a big possibility? They didnt take the car and let me drive off, have a court date for Sept. 22.

Traveling on Parole in Tennessee

Hi everyone. My husband will be released from prison February of next year, we were hoping to have our wedding ceremony in California next October. I know you can travel with a travel pass with permission from your PO, but does anyone have any insight on how long they make you wait until you can travel out of state? He’s in state prison for battery (not against women or children) he’s never had any crimes related to trafficking or anything to do with crossing state lines

Anyone who complies with probation is a fucking loser and worthless - i have been absconding for 3 years and i will never comply with a single thing a court "orders" me to do

The only person who is a bigger piece of shit than a PO is a person who complies with probation in any capacity for even a day

Pre trial intervention drug testing

So I was arrested in February and have been out on bond while my lawyer was working out getting me to do pre-trial intervention. She told me in the meantime to enroll in an IOP program which I did about 3 weeks ago now. I have failed my drug tests at the IOP and my official probation date has now been set and I meet with my PO on the 29th of this month. My IOP has moved me into a higher level of care and i think I should pass my first drug test when I meet with my PO. Will my failed tests from before put me in jail? I got a first time offense felony drug charge under a gram in Harris County Texas.

Probation

I’m on probation in Texas. I failed 1 ua and had 2 dilutions. I also have an ankle monitor that died twice and I violated curfew around my house. How likely is it that they will revoke it completely and issue a warrant. Do they usually start with sanctions and consequences outside of revocation. I go see my po in 2 days and I’m stressing hard. Im going to try to address it then and tell her I’ve been drinking and am willing to take classes or whatever I can to make this probation a success.

Probation

I’m on felony Probation, Georgia and I got approved to go to New York in Philadelphia for the UFC event, but I was wondering if anyone knows or had this happen to him can they make you do a drug screen while in a different state and if so, would it be like a doctors office or to a probation office in that state?

Drug testing frequency

I was told that my tests would be once every month, and that once in three years someone on the same probation as me saw it twice a month. I got caught for alcohol underage, so it’s pretty low importance of a charge. I just got tested yesterday, what’s the odds it’d happen again this month? I’m not trying to game the system but I don’t want to shell out $60 every week.

HELP ASAP

I’ve been on probation for 9 months. I’ve failed almost every UA since then. Last month at a violation hearing I was sent to jail for a week. Came back out with some more stipulations. 90 in 90, which I’ve done and documented. But I failed another UA and I have a court hearing for it in 5 hours. I’ve been accepted into a rehab inpatient facility and could go in 3 hours. If I go to rehab now obviously I’ll miss my court date. I’m pretty sure if I appear in court they are going to detain me and send me back to jail. My charge is possession of class b like 1/4 Gram. wtf should I do. Text PO and tell him I’m entering rehab? Show up to court with documentation (hopefully I can get in 2 hours) showing I’m accepted to the rehab facility and will go straight from court?

Second DV F3 charge in less than one year.

He was sentenced 24 months with a six month judicial, and released this past September 2nd. Recently indicted with a second DVF3 charge in Ohio. He also has another DV charge that was dropped to a misdemeanor approximately three years ago. Curious what possible sentencing could occur. Thank you
