What happens if I am found guilty of violating parole or probation?

If you are found guilty of violating parole or probation in Georgia, there are several potential consequences. The judge may decide to revoke your parole or probation and sentence you to a jail or prison sentence. If this happens, you may be required to serve all or part of the original sentence that you were given when you were convicted. Additionally, if it is a violation of probation, the court may also decide to revoke the suspended sentence for the original conviction. The judge may also decide to modify your sentence or extend your probation or parole time. This may involve an extension of your time period on probation or parole, or it may involve the addition of mandatory drug treatment or other conditions. In some cases, the judge may also decide to do nothing, and you may be released with no additional penalties. However, if you violate the terms of your sentence again, the judge may take more serious action. It is important to note that if you are found to have violated your parole or probation, you may also be subject to additional criminal penalties depending on the nature of the violation. For example, if you violated your parole or probation by committing a new crime, you may face additional charges and penalties, including jail time.
