Q: What are the rules of probation revocation that pertains to a parole officers authority ?
Is it normal for a 12 month probation sentence, on a suspended sentence to be revoked immediately upon failed drug test without thier attorney present? Also is it normal for the above to happen on a 7 yr sentence + 1 yr probation odoc . for burg II at 18 yrs old with no prior history what so ever . And in the 15th month of that probation , all fines paid , all gps and PO $$ paid up to date, has worked not 1 full time job since day of release but 2 , living with and helping to care for grandparent, to fail one drug test and immediately be taken to Oklahoma County jail and 3 days later to Mabel Bassett and told to sign for several months as punishment and serve that time at Mabel Bassett (@ 21yrs old) or serve 445 days more without benefit of private attorney ?
A: I would say that normally that is not the result of one failed drug test. Was her probation revoked or was it parole that was revoked? The difference is significant when it comes to the level of authority the officer has assigned to supervise the individual.
