What happens if I do not report to my parole or probation officer?

If you do not report to your parole or probation officer as agreed, you may face a range of punishment. Depending on the circumstances, your probation officer may issue a warning or take additional action. If you fail to report to your probation officer, they may report the violation to the court. The court may then issue an arrest warrant, requiring you to report to the court or hold you in contempt, and the court may even revoke your probation. In South Carolina, you may be arrested and held in jail if you do not report to your probation officer. If you are arrested, the judge in your case may decide that your violation of your probation is serious enough to revoke your probation, meaning that your probation is terminated and you will have to serve the original sentence. If your probation is revoked, you may have to serve the entire original sentence that was suspended when you were put on probation. As such, it is important to follow each and every condition of your parole or probation. If you have any issues or concerns, you should talk to your parole or probation officer as soon as possible to resolve the problem and avoid any negative outcomes.
