Can parole or probation be extended beyond the original court-ordered sentence?
Yes, parole or probation can be extended beyond the original court-ordered sentence in New Hampshire. This can happen if the person on parole or probation violates the terms of their release or fails to complete the requirements of the program. Once a parole or probation term has been completed and a person has satisfied all the conditions, the court will issue a certificate showing that they have successfully completed the program. This does not mean that the person is automatically released; they still need to be monitored by a parole or probation officer in case future violations occur. The court can extend a person’s probation or parole if they have not completed all the requirements of the original court-ordered sentence. This can include a combination of jail time, community service, or other forms of punishment. If the person violates the terms of their parole or probation, another hearing will likely be scheduled to determine the appropriate punishment. Parole or probation extensions are typically indefinite in length and can last anywhere from a few months to several years. If the terms of the probation or parole are constantly violated, the court can ultimately decide to revoke the order and send the person back to prison or jail in order to serve the original sentence.
