Probation Violation Vs. Parole Violations In Oregon

Probation is typically ordered by a court instead of jail or prison time. It allows you to remain in the community under specific conditions, such as:

  • Regular check-ins with a probation officer
  • Maintaining employment or attending school
  • Avoiding drugs and alcohol
  • Not committing new crimes

A violation of your probation can occur when you fail a drug test or miss a scheduled meeting.

On the other hand, parole can apply after you have served part of a prison sentence. You are generally released under supervision by the Oregon Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision. Parole conditions may include:

  • Travel restrictions
  • Restriction from interacting with certain individuals
  • Living in approved residences
  • Submitting to drug tests

A parole violation may occur if you fail to report to your parole officer or commit a new offense.

What Are The Consequences Of Probation And Parole Violations?

Violating the terms of your supervision can result in:

  • Warning from the probation officer, especially for minor infractions
  • Extension of probation or parole
  • Revocation of probation or parole after serious violations, which leads to serving the remainder of the sentence in prison
  • Additional penalties, such as fines or community service

Working with an experienced attorney in this situation is critical to protecting your freedom. Depending on your case, our criminal defense lawyer can help challenge the evidence or negotiate with prosecutors to reduce penalties.
