Are there any consequences if I miss a court-ordered deadline while on parole or probation?
Yes, there are consequences for not meeting deadlines while on parole or probation in Kansas. Depending on the type of case, the consequences can range from additional fines to a revocation of probation or parole. If an offender on parole or probation misses a court-ordered deadline, the court will typically issue a warning and schedule a hearing to determine the appropriate action. At the hearing, the court will review the offender’s probation or parole records and consider the reasons for the missed deadline. If the court determines the offender did not act intentionally, the court may issue a warning and set another deadline. If the court determines the offender did act intentionally, the court may impose additional penalties including fines, extended probation or parole, or even revocation. A revocation of parole or probation means the court will set aside the decision to allow the offender to remain out of prison and the offender will have to serve their sentence in a correctional facility. A revocation also means the offender will be subject to further court-imposed parole and probation regulations, such as attendance in a treatment program or drug testing, when released from prison. It is important to remember that parole and probation are serious matters in Kansas and missing court-ordered deadlines can have serious and life-altering consequences. To stay on track with these obligations, offenders should speak to their parole or probation officer right away if they are having difficulty meeting a deadline.
