What if I am unable to meet the requirements for a special condition of parole or probation?

If you are unable to meet the requirements for a special condition of parole or probation in Florida, you may be in violation of the conditions. Depending on the type of violation, there could be various consequences. The parole or probation officer may choose to take one of three types of action: a warning, a modification of the conditions, or a revocation of parole or probation and a return to prison or jail. If the parole or probation officer gives a warning, you will still be under supervision, and you may need to make adjustments or changes to meet the condition of parole or probation. If the officer modifies the conditions, these changes may be temporary or permanent. If the officer revokes the parole or probation, that means you will have to go back to prison or jail. In most cases, revocation of parole or probation means that the original sentence will be reinstated. Therefore, if the original sentence was 90 days in prison, that’s the amount of time you would have to serve as a result of the violation. It is important to understand that abiding by the conditions of parole or probation is essential in order to remain in the community. If you are unable to meet the requirements, it is important to talk to your parole or probation officer and come up with a plan to get back on track.
