QUESTION
How much time am I looking at in jail if I was absconded for not calling my PO for 2 months?
Asked on May 13th, 2013 on Criminal Law - Michigan
More details to this question:
When I did call, I found out I was unabsconded. I asked for time to get things straight at home so I could turn myself in. I am going to turn myself in today. I have no other charges and have been doing well with a full time job always for the past 21/2 years.

It will be up to the judge and your probation officer's recommendations. It is possible that you could do the remainder of your sentence in jail.

You do not tell me what you are on probation for. You do not tell me why you were "absconded". You do not tell me about your criminal history. All of these things are factors in determining how the judge will treat you and whether you will ultimately go to jail.

This depends on the judge but you may be able to have your probation continued. Get a good lawyer to help you.

You need an attorney. The normal penalty is the unserved sentence.
