Sure, by asking him. The prison will not give out this information. You might try a FOIA request to your state's Department of Corrections, but it is unlikely they will release the info.

Can probation officers enter your house if it is locked?

If accompanied by or at the direction of your probation officer, any law enforcement officer may search your home. On probation, you are still in custody. It is only the conditions of that custody that are altered. Probation is a conditional release, and one of the standard conditions is that you, your residence, and your vehicle are subject to periodic and potentially unannounced search.

Do you have example of parole support letters?

Support letters are very personal and should not be based too much on an example. I did find one article that addresses this and contained a good example and very good suggestions.

If you are on probation in state of California and you cross into another state what can happen?

To start, this must be approved by your probation officer. If your probation officer will not approve it you can not leave.

If your probation officer will approve it, they will need to request that the probation department of another state accept you for probation supervision in their state. Your current probation officer will have to request this through a process called "Interstate Compact."

If and when another state accepts you, you will be assigned a new probation officer in your new state.

There are potential complications if you are approved as well. The judge from the state that convicted you has little power to enforce the terms of your probation agreement. That means the probation department in the state you move to can impose any conditions that they consider to be appropriate. For example, if a Judge in the state that convicted you did not require a treatment program for your offense the new states probation department may or they may make your live miserable in other ways by imposing restrictions that make it difficult do do almost anything at all. When they impose these restrictions there is little you can do about it because they will not take orders from your home state judge since it is out of their jurisdiction.

If you are considering moving out of state while on probation and without approval, I would highly advise against that. This would be a violation of your probation and would likely get you arrested.

If you are on probation and get charged with a misdemeanor will you violate probation when you get charged or when you get convicted?

The court can file a violation of probation and revoke your probation, then issue a warrant for your arrest. Most states will extradite you for a misdemeanor anywhere within that state, but maybe not in another state. Then again, they might extradite you from another state.

Multiculturalism is of significance to probation and parole officers because it exposes the the criminal to even more bad influences and practices which could get him in even more trouble.

How much time do you get for probation violation on a misdemeanor?

Well, first you must deal with the parole violation. Chances are you will be returned to prison. Then there will be a hearing to determine whether you will be required to finish out the original sentence. During this time, you may be charged with the misdemeanor, if charges are filed, you may be tried, and if found guilty sentenced. The judge may determine to let you serve the time for the new charge concurrent with the original sentence, OR you may be required to be remanded to the county jail of jurisdiction once you have been discharged from prison.

What is the penalty for parole absconding in Michigan?

Can a probation officer not let you go to church?

Getting baptized would , I imagine, not be a lot different to if you weren't on probation. That might differ according to denomination. The ones I am familiar with would want to know that there had been a real, life-changing turn around since the crime occurred, assuming you were rightly convicted. Baptism usually follows an acceptance that Jesus was really who He said he was and is your personal Saviour. Repentance, or being truly sorry for any sins done ( and all of us have them, convicted by a court or not!) would be a pre- requisite to baptism in many churches. If there is a church you would like to join, ask what their policy is. I wish you well.

How does the definition of crime determine who is subjected to probation and parole?

The definition of crime is an act or omission prohibited and punished by law; according with this meaning the crime can be classified in groups concerning its severity of damages and seriously offense, allowing to the system send the individual upon convicted to the best program; qualifying in advance under its requirements to easily his/her rehabilitation and reenter process to the society trough the best program one or both in some cases, if it is necessary.

Is there any apratments that rents to felons?

Unfortunately none that I am aware of. I know this does not really answer your question, but perhaps this next part will guide you.

Start with the A's and end with the Z's. You will have to call every single one in the phone book and ask them directly. There is no need to identify yourself or the person you are trying to help. You may soon find that no complex will rent to a felon, and the state and federal governments are perfectly willing to allow this form of discrimination.

Another thing you can do is simply have the person you are attempting to help go and apply. If this person is of a minority group, and his application is denied, he has a lock case for "De Facto Discrimination."

Of course, I understand all too well that the important part is to get him a place of residence right now. You will find greater success with private landlords.

What happens if you violate your probation or diversion?

I all depends on you charges and past criminal offenses, but there will be a new sentencing, possibly a warrant out for your arrest, and your charge will be on your permanent record. you could face fines and jail time.

Can you bond on a parole violation?

In most states, NO. Depends on whether the original charge was a capital crime. The higher the original charge, the less likely you are to get a bond.

Also, the circumstance will play into it as well. If the probation violation is, let's say, a stalking that you have re-commited, then the public safety is at risk and therefore most judges will deny allowing a bond.

ADDED CLARIFICATION: Probation is a sentence for being adjudged GUILTY of a crime you committed. A lenient sentence, but a sentence nonetheless! If you violate the conditions of your sentence (probation) it is the same as if you had violated a rule while in jail. There is no bond for such an offense. The judge will decide your fate and, depending on the seriousness of your VOP, you could be sent to jail to serve the remainder of your sentence behind bars.

Can a probation officer send you to prison?

Probation officers can send you to prison, but they have to have a reason and get it approved.

When does a person come up for parole?

It depends on the state, but I believe(In MASS anyway) you are normally eligible for parole after serving 1/3 of your sentence. However, some states do not even have parole. For example, Maine allows parolees to move here, but we do not have parole. Instead we give "good time", which takes some time off of the sentence and if you receive a suspended sentence, you get out early and serve the rest of your time on probation. If you mess up on probation, you ban be sent back to prison for a part of the rest of you sentence or just for the rest of your sentence. But like I sadi, it depends on the state.

Is a felon aways a felon?

If you commit a felony crime it will stay on your record for the rest of your life unless you get a pardon or get the felony expunged. You will need a lawyer and a lot of patience to get this off your record.

What states don't have parole?

I know florida dosent have parole, but i dont know what other states dont have it.

PS- NY, NJ, and PA do have parole.

A sentence of imprisonment that is suspended is what?

A suspended jail term usually means that an offender doesn't have to serve sentenced jail time because of some sort of deal w/ a court. For example "if you stay out of trouble and do community service for 10 months, your jail sentence will be cleared"
