How do I find out if I have been granted parole or probation?
If you have been convicted of a crime in South Carolina, you may be eligible for parole or probation. In order to find out if you have been granted parole or probation, you will need to contact the court or the sentencing judge. The court personnel should be able to tell you the status of your case. Once you have been granted parole or probation, you will be under the supervision of the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services (SCDPPPS). You will be required to follow certain conditions set by the court or the SCDPPPS. Depending on the type of parole or probation you are granted, these conditions can range from attending counseling sessions, to attending community service meetings, to undergoing drug or alcohol screenings. If you are on parole, your parole officer will monitor your progress and provide you with support and guidance. The parole officer will also regularly review your progress and determine if you are meeting the conditions of your parole or probation. If you fail to comply with the conditions of your parole or probation, this can result in your parole or probation being revoked. This can mean that you will have to return to prison to complete the sentence you were given by the court. Therefore, it is important to make sure you follow all the terms and conditions of your parole or probation.
