Violations Require the Defense of an Atlanta Criminal Attorney

When an inmate is released from jail or prison on parole, he/she will be required to meet regularly with a parole officer and follow all conditions set forth by the parole board.

• Failure to meet with a parole officer
• Failure to submit to random drug tests
• Failing a drug test
• Failing to hold or keep a job
• Associating with criminals
• Loitering or hanging out in banned areas
• Failing to attend court-ordered counseling, rehabilitation, treatment classes, or education workshops
• Failure to complete community service
• Committing another criminal offense
• Failing to pay a court fine or fee
• Failing to appear in court on scheduled date
