Can you get probation for a felony?

Answer 1

No.

This is not true. You can become a probation officer with a felony. You just have to work alot harder and find someone that will hire you. A felon is probation officer in St. Louis and he did 15 years in prison. He went against the odds and turned his life around, He can do so can anyone else.

People need to get felons hope.

Answer 2

In most jurisdictions, yes. This is dependent on what you plead guilty to or are found guilty of. If the charge was amended down from a felony (say Trafficking in Controlled Substance) to a misdemeanor (say possession of marijuana) then it is not a felony conviction. However, if you plead guilty to felony charge with the stipulation of probation for sentencing (or are found guilty and placed on probation after a sentencing hearing) then you are a convicted felon. Generally speaking, it matters not the punishment for the crime you have committed but what you have been found guilty of or plead guilty to.

Answer 3

This depends entirely on the state. In California, a felony conviction does not automatically disqualify anyone. Each conviction is reviewed in the context of your whole application. In some states, I have been told that a single conviction would prevent you working anywhere in probation / parole.

Answer 4

Yes. Breaking any sort of law while on any type of probation means you have violated probation. Granted, a misdemeanor, in some cases, can just be a slap on the wrist and they may just give you more restrictions or restart your probation. It can also be as bad as going back to your original sentence that you were given when you were charged with a felony. It all depends on the seriousness of the misdemeanor.

Answer 5

yes, depends on what kind of felony it is.
