Re: work release violation in CA

More | Report Post

Hi Fanua,
I still need to know if the violation of work release will be held
against this individual even though it has been 8 years since the
violationn occurred and the individual has been an upstanding member
of society with a family. Please advise as to a contact for this
individual to clean up their record or pay a fine or whatever might be
necessary.
Thank you,
Lena
