What types of disciplinary actions are taken against someone on parole or probation?

Someone on probation or parole in the District of Columbia can experience a variety of disciplinary actions if they fail to meet the conditions of their probation or parole. These disciplinary actions are designed to ensure accountability and to encourage compliance with the conditions of supervision. One of the disciplinary actions that may be taken against someone on probation or parole is a warning from their parole or probation officer. This warning will remind the individual of their obligation to comply with the conditions of their supervision and can be an effective way to ensure accountability. In some instances, a person on probation or parole may also receive sanctions. Sanctions can include community service, additional jail time, or fines. These sanctions are usually intended to teach the individual the consequences of not complying with their probation or parole conditions. If the individual does not comply with the conditions of their probation or parole, they may be subject to further disciplinary actions. This can include being placed on more restrictive supervision, such as when a person on parole is placed back in jail. Additionally, a violation of probation or parole terms may lead to a revocation of the probation or parole and the individual being sent back to prison. In all cases, the disciplinary actions taken should be tailored to the individual’s circumstances in order to ensure that the individual is held accountable and is able to adhere to the conditions of their probation or parole.
