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 a parole or probation condition in the state of Indiana, the consequences depend on the severity of the violation and the terms of the probation or parole agreement. In some cases, a court may impose additional restrictions, such as an increase in the frequency of parole/probation meetings or a prohibition on certain activities. In other cases, the court may require the offender to serve additional time in prison. In the most serious cases, an offender may face a revocation of his or her parole or probation. This means that the offender will be taken back into custody and will serve the rest of his or her sentence in prison. In some cases, the court may also impose additional penalties, such as fines or community service. The exact consequences of a violation will ultimately depend on the individual circumstances of each case. A judge will consider a variety of factors, such as the nature of the violation, the offender’s past record, and whether the offender demonstrated any remorse or attempted to make amends. The judge will then determine an appropriate punishment.
