Whilst on probation a feller has no rights what-so-ever I am guessing?

Question

What are the chances someone will be let out of probation earlier than the 5 years that they are given the pleasure of serving?

How often does a feller get taken off of probation early? And how soon hmm?

Answer 1

Hmmm! depends on why and what for.

Answer 2

Not sure which rights you're talking about. I was on probation for a felony, yet I was still able to vote. That's a pretty good right. I still had all the rights as listed in the Bill of Rights. In fact, for being on probation, I hardly suffered any loss of rights at all. I did have to check in every two weeks with the probation officer, but that was a LOT better than checking into the prison. AND I had a year's probation, but the probation officer recommended early termination and I got it after six months.

5 years probation? The fact that you're on probation speaks well of your chances. Now it's all up to the circumstances, how well YOU are taking control of your responsibilities, AND the attitude of your probation officer, which might mean dick. Don't count on getting off on less than 3 years, and that's only if you've kept your nose lily white clean for the WHOLE time.

Answer 3

Seems to me you have a lot more rights on probation than you have in jail.

Probation is an alternative to jail. If you are on probation, you already got a break. I'm not sure what else you expect.

Answer 4

Pretty much - you don't have any choice but to do the time. While on probation, you have to dance to their tune, and do what they want. There is almost no chance of reducing.

Answer 5

not ever that i'm aware of.

as to you rights - probation is a sort of contract between you and the courts, with your responsibilities clearly outlined.

if you are required to go to couseling and you go and document that, then you should have no restriction of your rights.
