Q: If im on 2yr parole and i got violated reason didnt report to probation officer how much time will i have to do
A:
This answer assumes that this is the first time that your probation has been revoked --- If that is true then will be granted a "DETERMINATE RELEASE." DETERMINATE RELEASE = A release to probation granted by statute T.C.A. 40-35-50 that applies to all felons sentenced to two (2) years and under. The determination of eligibility for such probation is based solely upon the length of sentence as imposed by the sentencing court.
The judge has sentenced you to serve two (2) years or less to the Tennessee Department of Corrections (TDOC) with a percent range. When you meet that range or Release Eligibility Date (RED) TDOC certifies the offenders eligible to go out on Determinate Release Probation. At this time the Board of Probation and Parole sets release dates and sends out notification. Approximately 15 working days later the offenders are released to probation.
I hope that helps.
