parole violation bail bonds

If your loved one has violated their parole, you may be worried about how this can affect their current situation and possible sentencing. Here are the answers to some common questions about parole violations and bail bonds.

What are the differences between types of parole violations?

Not all parole violations are the same! There are different types of violations that can happen: absconding violations, technical violations, and criminal/substantial violations. Absconding violations include the defendant’s failure to keep in contact with the parole system, such as with their parole officer. Technical violations are considered not to be very severe, and include a simple infraction on the terms of the probation. Criminal/substantial violations are more severe, and occur when a defendant who is out on probation commits an additional crime of any kind.

What happens when parole conditions are violated?

The defendant’s parole officer/supervisor will review all information about the case to determine how to best respond to the parole violation. This information can include things such as the type of violation, the defendant’s criminal history, the length of time the defendant has been on parole and their behavior during that time, the stability of their employment and place of residence, substance abuse history and their reliability in maintaining contact with the parole system. If after the case review it is determined that the defendant should be taken back into custody, the process to produce a warrant for the individual’s arrest begins.

What is the process for obtaining a parole violation bail bond?

When looking for assistance in getting any kind of bail bond for a loved one, be sure to have some basic information at the ready, such as their name, charges against them, where they are being held and the amount of the bond. Call a professional bail bonds company and be ready to provide this information to them. Next, they will process all essential paperwork with you, reviewing items like payment information and your responsibilities as a cosigner. After this is complete, the bail bonds company will assist you in filing the proper paperwork with the court and get the bail bond processed so that your loved one can be released to await their trial. 

How much is bail for parole violation in CT?

In Connecticut, the bail amount for a parole violation depends on the nature of the violation and the individual's criminal history. Bail for such violations typically ranges from $10,000 to $50,000. However, if the violation is deemed severe or if the individual is considered a flight risk, the bail amount can be significantly higher or even denied. It's important to contact a bail bondsman for a precise evaluation based on the specific details of the case.
