How do I find out if I have been granted parole or probation?

If you have been convicted of a crime in North Carolina and sentenced to a period of parole or probation, you will be notified by the court. The court will usually give you a written set of instructions for your parole or probation period. Your best option for finding out if you have been granted parole or probation is to contact the court or parole/probation office that sent you the instructions. This office should be able to provide you with information on your parole or probation status. You may also contact the North Carolina Department of Public Safety Parole and Probation office, which oversees parole and probation in the state. If you’ve been released from jail or prison after serving your sentence, you are no longer on parole or probation. However, if you are still in jail or prison and have been given parole, you may not be released right away. In this case, you may need to contact the parole board that is responsible for granting your release. This board is typically housed within the same department as the parole and probation office. In any case, if you have been granted parole or probation it is important that you understand and abide by any rules and regulations. Violating the terms of your parole or probation could cause you to be returned to prison.
