Question: I have a friend currently incarceration that is waiting to be moved to work release in a county jail to begin his sentence. He was arrested on July 3, on July 15 he tested positive for THC and his had his court date for a probation violation was on July 16. The dirty urine never was brought up on that date. The judge revoked his probation and sentenced him to work release for the remaining 8 months of probation. Now he is being told that he is being held and waiting for his probation officer to release him but does not think he will due to the dirty urine. The probation officer never received the report for the dirty urine until July 30. I need some guidance, is it possible for his release to the work release program be held up due to this?
Answer: Your friend has a lot of things going on at one time. The probation officer will do what he/she thinks is best to help your friend rehabilitate himself. Can it be held up? Yes. Why hasn't your friend already been transferred? Only an attorney investigating the problem, will be able to answer that question.
