Ask your probation officer.
Probation Questions - Early release?
What is the name of your state? Georgia - Cobb County
I was arrested and charged (plea agreement) with Arson. This was a suicide attempt in my own home due to mental illness, divorce, and surgicval error. When accepting this plea- I thought or asumed that I would serve 2 years of active probation, then be converted to inactive for a year- maybe two. Although- I really do not understand why there is an "inactive probation" status. Well, this is not the case. I was almost immediately placed on inactive and told that Cobb County does not do early releases. I am told as well (after expressing interest) to follow the procedure for a pardon that there was no chance of this. Before my conviction, I was a model citizen. I was a public notary and voted regularily. Although, I do understand that this is the consequence to my own actions- I truly feel enough is enough. I have looked for 2 solid years for a job- Unable to secure one. I did return to college to complete my education, securing a 3.91 GPA. I will graduate in 6 months and my alimony payments are reduced to 1/2. Leaving me unable to pay my bills regularily and about to lose my home. I worked a Federal Work Study job for 1 week, then terminated once my background check came in. I was hired a year ago by the American Red Cross, but before I even walked in the door for training- I was let go due to my conviction.
Any advise that you can give me would truly be appreciated! I will be ever so grateful! Just do not know what to do!
Thank you in advance for your help!
