Department of Corrections (DOC) Release-Violation Hearings
DOC Release Violation Hearings
Clients who have served two-thirds of their prison sentence are entitled to serve the remaining term of their sentence in the community on supervised release (SR), intensive supervised release (ISR), or conditional release (CR). Some clients are released from prison before the two-thirds release date as part of the challenge-incarceration-program (CIP), which is also referred to as “bootcamp.”
Once released from prison, there are specific conditions imposed on clients by the department of corrections. If the client’s release agent has alleged a violation, the agent can have the client arrested and placed in custody.
Clients have the right to a hearing before a hearing officer to determine if there has been a violation and, if there has been a violation, whether the client will return to prison.
If you face the possibility of being sent back to prison after an allegation that you have violated the terms of your release, the attorneys at Johnson Erickson will use their experience to guide you through the process and advocate for the best possible outcome, including the possibility of you remaining in the community rather than returning to prison.
