What happens if the terms of my parole or probation are modified or changed?

If the terms of your parole or probation are modified or changed in the state of Georgia, you must adhere to the new terms and conditions in order to remain in compliance with the law. Some common changes are an increase or decrease in the supervision period, an adjustment in the conditions set forth in the original probation or parole order, or a modification to the terms of a treatment program. If your probation or parole officer decides to modify the terms of your probation or parole, you must be notified in writing of the changes. These changes will become effective on the date you are notified and you must adhere to them regardless of whether you agree with them or not. If you refuse to follow through with the modified terms, it is considered a violation of your probation or parole and could lead to a revocation. This means that you could be arrested and face the original sentence that you were released from. Additionally, if the change requested is to take part in a court-ordered treatment program, refusing to take part in the program could lead to a violation. It is important to follow the terms of your parole or probation and be aware of any changes that may be made. If you have any questions or are unsure if the changes are appropriate, contact your probation or parole officer for more information.
