So my boyfriend violated his probation and has been in jail since the day after the violation. His hearing is on Wednesday. But here is the thing a guy he was in jail with had a hearing and had paper work and it said that the paper work was supposed to be provided 5 business days before the hearing and like comformation or something 24 hours before. Well my boyfriend hasn't received any paperwork at all. He doesn't even know the time the hearing is. He should have got the paperwork on Thursday if the 5 day thing is correct. He would ask his Corrections officer about the hearing but he is out of town for 3 weeks. Isn't the person that's violating him be at the hearing? Can anyone tell me the procedure to how this all works? Or at least give me a place to find the information in my own because the sites I have looked at have no information. Please!! By the way I'm not sure if it will make or difference of not, but we live in Washington State

They can just prospone the hearing, since there is no requirement to hurry his hearing along.

In fact if the PO is out of town, they may just wait for the hearing till he returns.

He can ask for a copy of the paper work at the hearing and ask for it to be continued.
