Q: is it legal for parole to extend your probation if you completed the original time you were sentenced by a judge
I have been on parole for 6 years. I was convicted in 2012 and got released from the CDCR in 2014. i have been on parole since, i was told i was going to be on a 3 year parole when i was sentenced but when i got released i was told it is now a 5 year parole. so once I'm on my 4th year of parole I find out it is no longer 5 years but a 10 year parole. so when i try to ask my parole officer about this change he can never give me a penal code or a law that he said passed that allowed the parole office to extend my parole. does this law exist or is my rights being violated? i was 18 years old when all this happened to me i am 27 with a son of my own. i am a full time manager and a part time student. i am trying to better my self and get my family ahead and dealing with how parole has been treating me has not helped me. i sleep in my car because parole doesn't allow me to be with my family because my family house cant get approved due to my conditions
A:
instead of asking the question of lawyers who do not have ALL the facts, you should ask your lawyer who represented you.
more info is no doubt needed.

Parole times have changed in the last few years. If you plead guilty in 2012, then your plea form likely had a parole term "length." See if you can get a copy of it and see if your old attorney can help. However, it is probably better to contact the local public defender's office. They handle these issues often. You may need to have a "Writ" filed to fix this.
Good luck and keep doing well!
