    Have you tried going back to court for early release? Speak to an attorney about your case to get the percentage of probability for early release. If it isn't highly likely then you may have to complete your sentence. Also, if you have a pretty cool probation officer t(and depending on what you are on probation for) then you may if they petition the court on your behalf.

    Hi, as a matter of fact-it is all up to your PO-whatever they say goes-if you want to be released early, you need to give your PO good reason to do so. If you have been doing what is needed, then you should just ask your PO whether it is an option-they usually tell you whether they will or not-but Id ask to be sure-and remember as much as being on Probation sux, make sure you're ready to be removed so you don't end up back there again! It is all going to work out in the end!

    Hello Michelle:

    Contrary to what you've heard, if a judge put you on probation, then it's going to be a judge that takes you off. NOBODY in the probation office can change a court order. It is true, however, that without your PO's approval, it's not going to happen.

    In the first place, you will have to have: 1) paid ALL your fines, 2) paid ALL your restitution, 3) paid ALL your probation fees, 4) have no incident reports, 5) attended ALL your court mandated classes, and 6) completed ALL your community service.

    Assuming you did the above, ask your PO for the written Policy and Procedures Manual. In it, you will find something about early termination, where the criteria will be listed. You should fit it. Make a motion to the judge. He should grant it.

    Depends on several factors. As excon states, "a judge put you on probation, only he/she can take you off", is the bottom line. In order for a judge to even consider, one would need the support or agreement of the prosecutor = and depending on the political climate, how long he/she has been in office, will greatly affect that decision. The other obvious things of having fines paid, completion of programs, and support of current PO, would all need to be in place. Bottom line, it will be different for every county - so consult attorney to see if it's worth your while. Good luck ! RainMan.
