Does parole or probation automatically terminate upon the completion of the sentence?

In New Hampshire, parole and probation do not automatically terminate upon the completion of the sentence. Parole and probation are both forms of community supervision that require an individual to adhere to certain conditions set forth by the court. The individual must fulfill these conditions before their parole or probation can be terminated. The conditions may include meeting regularly with a parole or probation officer, undergoing drug testing and counseling, attending job training programs, and staying away from illegal activities. In some cases, a court may also require an individual to complete an additional sentence after their parole or probation period. This extra sentence may include fines, restitution payments, and/or community service. If an individual fails to meet the conditions of parole or probation, they may be are returned to prison to serve out the remainder of their sentence. In New Hampshire, parole or probation will terminate upon satisfactory completion of the sentence. However, failure to comply with the conditions may result in an extension of parole or probation or the individual being returned to prison to serve out the remainder of their sentence.
