Information about Parole and Probation in Atlanta, Georgia

Parole - It is up to the State Board of Pardons and Paroles to decide whether or not to grant an inmate parole and release him or her after they have served a certain amount of time in prison. People who have been given a life sentence without parole or the death sentence do not have the ability to be considered for parole, as well as certain other inmates. When on parole, the individual will be supervised by the State and will have various limitations and restrictions by which they must abide; otherwise they will be sent back to prison.

Probation Violation - When a criminal defendant has not obeyed all of the terms of his or her probation, he or she has violated probation, which may result in revocation of probation, monetary fines, community service, a jail term, a prison term, or other consequences. There are many ways in which a person may violate probation, possibly by committing a crime, not reporting to the probation officer, or by breaking a condition of their probation.

Revocation Hearing - If you violate your probation, your probation may be revoked, and you may have to serve a jail or prison term. You will have to appear at a probation revocation hearing within 30 days, where the judge will decide if you knowingly violated a condition of your probation.
