What happens if I am found to be in violation of a parole or probation condition?

If you are found to be in violation of parole or probation conditions in Alaska, the consequences depend on the type of parole or probation you have and the severity of the violation. Generally, if you are on probation, a judge may revoke your probation and impose a sentence that could include fines, community service, or jail time. If you are on parole, a parole board could revoke your parole and return you to prison to complete the rest of your sentence. In cases of minor violations, the judge or parole board may give you a warning or extend your probation or parole term so that you are able to correct your behavior. However, if the violation is more serious, such as missing a probation or parole appointment or testing positive for drug use, you may face more immediate consequences. The court could order you to serve a period of time in jail or prison or require you to complete a drug or alcohol treatment program. In more extreme cases, the court could revoke your parole or probation and require you to serve the remainder of your sentence. It is important to follow all of the conditions of your parole or probation in order to avoid potential consequences. If you are uncertain of any of the conditions you are supposed to follow, it is important to speak with your probation or parole officer as soon as possible.
