∙ 14y agoDon't know what the question is asking for. In "cop slang" it is known as a VOP - pronounced like it looks. Also - if the probation is revoked it is legally referred to as being "remanded to jail/prison."

What term is used to refer to someone on probation?
A probationer.
What is the penalty for alcohol use in a repeat offender DWI probation?
There is no set penalty. The probationer should be in a treatment program. Residential treatment is a possibility. The probation officer may put the probationer on electronic monitoring or a scram bracelet. The scram bracelet can detect alcohol through the skin after it is consumed. The aforementioned supervision strategies are not "penalties", but are designed to help the probationer complete their term successfully. It is also possible probation could be revoked and the probationer sent to prison.
The statement of the rule of law in this case is Subsequent imposition of new conditions or terms to a sentence or order of probation violates a defendant's constitutional right against double jeopa?
The quesion is worded in a very confusing manner. HOWEVER - if I understand it correctly, the question is about a sentence of probation and what future conditions may be imposed on that sentence. If that is the case: A sentence of probation is a sentence imposed AFTER the defendant is found GUILTY of an offense. Certain strict prohibitions and conditions are imposed upon the defendant in return for this lenient sentence of probation. BUT - if the probationer violates these terms and condition he may be subject to further, more stringent, action by the court, up to and including incarceration for the entire term of the original sentence. This is not double jeapordy! This is a case of the defendant spitting in the face of the court which offered him lenient conditions for release into the general community by continuing to commit other offenses, after being found guilty.
What are probation and parole?
Probation and parole are very similar. They are both forms of supervision by the state or federal government, with standard and special conditions assigned to every defendant. A probation or parole officer is usually the same person who supervises both types of cases. There may be special types of probation and parole, which are handled by specially trained officers of those categories, such as for sex offenders and drug offenders. Probation is a sentence handed by the court, in which the offender is supervised by the state or federal government (either the state's Department of probation, Department of Corrections, or other similar agency, or the US probation department). If the offender violates any of the conditions of probation he can be arrested and returned to the court for hearing on such violation. The judge can then sentence the probationer to more probation, modify conditions of probation, community control (also known as house arrest), or incarceration. Probation can either follow incarceration or be given instead of incarceration (in the case of the former this is known as a split sentence). In states that have parole system (the federal government doesn't) parole may be granted to an inmate. Because parole is granted by the parole board of the Department of Corrections of that state, the offender is still considered inmate, and can be returned directly to prison without any jurisdiction of the courts if he violates the terms of his parole. The parole can range from a couple of years to the rest of what would be the offender's term of incarceration.
What is the meaning of probation period?
Probation means that the court decided the imposition of your sentence was suspended and granted probation. The grant is most commonly 3 or 5 years, but can be any time period the court sees fit. In lieu of serving jail/prison time, the probationer gives up 4th amendment rights and agrees to a warrantless search as well as the other terms and conditions of probation. If the terms and conditions are violated, the PO can file a motion to revoke probation. If probation is terminated, the defendant may have to serve all of the original sentence. If the probation is reinstated, the terms and conditions can be modified, or the probation expiration date be extended, and credit for time served be waived.

What does it mean when a person receives a 3 year sentence withheld after serving 2 years already on probation?
This usually means that the person received a sentence to prison for a specific amount of time, generally exceeding the two years mentioned. But that sentence, provided the person completes two years of probation successfully, is withheld. When the person completes the two years' probation, his sentence is completed and he is no longer in the system. However if he violates the terms of his probation he could be sent to prison to complete the prison term, and there's no credit given for the time he was on probation.
What happens when probation expires What is the legal process?
You are notified by the court, or your probation officer, that you have completed the term of your probation and (in my experience) given a 'certificate of discharge' from probation. Of course if your jurisdiction differs from this procedure, contact your PO and simply ask.
