What if I am unable to attend a parole or probation hearing?

If you are unable to attend a parole or probation hearing in Indiana, there may be consequences. The court may issue a warrant for your arrest and you could go to jail. Before the hearing, you need to make sure that the court is aware of your circumstances and request an adjournment. You or your lawyer should file a motion for an adjournment as soon as possible. In the motion, you should explain why you are unable to attend, such as illness, another hearing, or transportation issues. Make sure to provide any evidence to support your claim, such as a doctor’s note or affidavit detailing the reasons why you are unable to attend. You should also contact the office of your probation or parole officer as soon as possible. Your officer may be able to help you with an adjournment or suggest alternate arrangements to attend the hearing. If the court does grant an adjournment, make sure to attend the next hearing. Your failure to attend may be seen as a violation of your parole or probation agreement. If you are in doubt, contact your lawyer or probation officer for advice.
