Re: work release violation in CA

More | Report Post

Dear Lena,

The work lease could be part of his/her probation, the
length of probation (formal/informal etc) lasts up to three
years, but this could vary depending on the condition of the
probation and nature of the crime. For example in some
felony cases, formal probation can last for up to five years.

As soon as a probation violation occurs, an arrest may
follow shortly thereafter and/or the defendant may be
ordered to court for a probation violation hearing.

As I mention before is all depend on many factors that the
prosecutor and the judge will look at:
• The seriousness of the probation violation
• The nature of the probation violation
• The history of previous probation violations
• New criminal activity surrounding the probation
violation
• probation term (whether it occurred at the
beginning, middle, or end of the probationary term)

The recommendation and suggestions from probation officer
etc.

Thanks
