Q: Can you get probation consecutive to extended supervision
A: A sentence of probation or extended supervision should not be imposed to (start) following an existing period of probation or extended supervision. A sentence of incarceration, jail time, or prison time, can be imposed to be served after the completion of an existing incarceration period. If a new crime is committed, that crime can involve a new bifurcated sentence that involves initial confinement and extended supervision. However the new sentence would not involve probation or extended supervision that begins following the completion of an existing probation or extended supervision, but would rather involve the new sentence simply being imposed as is (possibly with probation or extended supervision as a component) and that time would begin running immediately, possibly running concurrently with an existing probation period or extended supervision period effectively lengthening the time that the person will now be on probation or extended supervision. However one probationary period does not begin upon the other one ending.
