Long Island Probation & Parole Violation Lawyers

Understanding New York's Parole Violation Lawsperson behind bars

A violation of probation occurs when a parolee does not adhere to the conditions of their probation conditions. An assigned probation officer will enforce the terms and conditions of the case. If a violation of probation occurs, the judge will be notified and a resentencing hearing will be scheduled to re-evaluate a parolee's penalties.

Once an individual has been arrested for violation of parole, he or she cannot, under any circumstances, be released from jail until the allegations are determined at a hearing. Unfortunately, by law, the Division of Parole does not have to conduct a hearing for up to 90 days. Unless the Division withdraws the charge, the person will remain in jail for at least 90 days, even if they win the hearing. Many important decisions must be made immediately after being arrested for a parole violation; as such, it is important to immediately hire a smart, experienced, and aggressive criminal defense attorney to help you make these decisions and protect your future.

What is Post Release Supervision in New York?

After serving a sentence in New York State prison, the individual will be released and, for a period of years set by the court, will be subject to a term of supervision. The period can range from 1 year to 5 years. This is known as the period of Post Release Supervision. The supervision is carried out by the New York State Division of Parole. The rules of conduct for a person on parole are very strict. Even minor offenses, such as staying out past a curfew, can be the basis for a parole violation.

What are Special Conditions of Probation?

In many cases, the court imposes special conditions of probation, such as:

  • Participation in alcohol or drug counseling
  • Paying restitution
  • Performing community service
  • Participating in anger management or sexual offender programs
