Hi Johnny! In ****, you generally have the right to be released when your probation violation term ends. If they are holding you beyond your release date, consider:
- Requesting a lawyer to file a habeas corpus petition.
- Asking for a meeting with a probation officer to resolve the matter.
Do you have a lawyer who can assist you with this?
yes
Since you already have a lawyer, I recommend contacting them immediately to discuss filing a habeas corpus petition. This can compel the authorities to release you if you're being unlawfully held. Keep pressing for answers from the probation office as well.
Is there anything else I can help you with?
no thank you
Understood, Johnny. If you need further assistance in the future, feel free to reach out. Take care!
