If this happens to you, you will most likely be assigned a supervising officer who will establish various terms you must follow for the duration of your community/parole supervision. If you are caught violating these terms, which are sometimes unreasonable to begin with, you can expect to face a wide array of very serious penalties.

Parole & Community Supervision in New Jersey

If you are on community or parole supervision and are accused of violating its terms, you will most likely face additional years of supervision, as well as potential time behind bars. You should note that you may face jail time even if your alleged violation wasn’t technically a violation of the law. For example, you can face serious ramifications even for something as simple as missing your curfew. If you are facing an accusation of violating your community or parole supervision, you need an experienced New Jersey sex crimes attorney on your side.

What happens if I am caught violating community supervision?

If you are accused of violating community supervision, you will face a wide array of potential penalties. Violating CSL even without committing an actual crime can warrant up to 18 months of incarceration. In fact, even if you didn’t a crime but you did allegedly violate your CSL, you will most likely still be arrested and have to wait in jail until the date of your parole hearing. In the worst cases, courts may even charge a person who violated their parole with a 3rd-degree crime, which can warrant anywhere between 3-5 years of incarceration.
