What are the consequences of not meeting the requirements of my sentence while on parole or probation?

In North Dakota, the consequences of not meeting the requirements of your sentence while on parole or probation depend on the terms of your sentence. Generally, the consequences of not meeting your parole/probation requirements involve additional penalties and conditions, such as extended supervision, additional community service, additional counseling services, or incarceration. If, for example, you fail to comply with the terms of your parole/probation, the North Dakota Department of Corrections will send a letter to your most recent address informing you of the violation. You will then have to appear in court to answer for the violation. Depending on the severity of the violation, the court may order you to pay a fine or fees, complete additional community service hours, attend specific treatment or educational programs, or more. More serious violations may result in immediate revocation of your parole/probation and additional jail time. In this case, the amount of time you must serve in jail depends on the severity of your crime and the terms of your sentence. You may also be subject to additional penalties, such as being denied the right to vote, owning a firearm, or more. In conclusion, it is important to remember that your parole/probation is meant to help you successfully reintegrate into society. If you fail to meet the requirements of your sentence, you will be held accountable and may face additional consequences. If you are unsure of the terms of your parole/probation, contact your probation officer for more information.
