How do I protest or challenge a parole or probation condition?

If you want to challenge or protest a parole or probation condition in Alaska, you must first contact the probation officer assigned to your case. You may be able to discuss the issue directly with your probation officer and they may be able to resolve the issue informally. If the issue cannot be resolved informally, then you need to file a petition for relief from the parole or probation condition. This is an official form that is completed, sworn in front of a notary, and sent to the court for review. On the form, you must be specific about the condition or terms you are challenging as well as how these terms are overly burdensome or violating your rights. Once the petition is filed, you will receive a court date for a hearing to present your petition and to argue your case. Once the hearing is held, the court will decide whether or not to grant relief from the parole or probation condition. If you disagree with the court’s decision, you can appeal the case to the Alaska Supreme Court. You must clearly state why you believe the court’s decision was wrong and provide legal evidence to support your claim. No matter what, it is important to understand that the original rule of parole or probation still holds, even while you are protesting or challenging it. It is also important to note that you should not challenge or protest a parole or probation condition without the help of an experienced lawyer.
