Hi ****! Here are some suggestions:
- Contact your probation officer and explain your situation. They might offer alternative arrangements.
- Inquire if remote check-ins are possible.
- Seek assistance from local community organizations for transportation support.
Have you tried discussing your transportation issue with your probation officer yet?
Yes, i had missed the first meeting 2 days ago, now i have to call an miss this again
Hi ****! It's important to contact your probation officer as soon as possible to explain your situation and avoid any potential consequences. Missing multiple meetings can lead to serious issues. Have you considered asking if they can provide assistance or suggest alternatives for your transportation problem?
She comes to my area regularly but she explained that ahe wont be able to be hear until middle of feb. She said she has to see me before than
****, here are some steps you could take:
- Call your probation officer to explain your situation again and see if she can make an exception or provide a temporary solution until she can come to your area.
- Request if there are any other officers nearby who can meet you temporarily.
- Explore community services or local charities that might provide transportation assistance.
Have you tried explaining your situation to any local community organizations for immediate help?
Im beyond to shy an scared to ever ask that
Hey ****! I totally understand. Could you try contacting local social services or charities via a phone call instead of in person? They might be able to help with transportation, and you wouldn't have to meet anyone face-to-face initially.
Probably not in this community
****, it sounds like you're in a challenging situation. Here are additional options to consider:
- Contact Legal Aid: They might offer assistance or advice on how to handle your probation requirements.
- Look for Online Support Groups: They can provide guidance and support for situations like yours.
- Check with local shelters or churches: They sometimes offer transportation services.
Do any of these suggestions seem like they might be helpful for you?

Hi ****! Here are some legal points you could discuss with your probation officer:

Can you word what i should say to her, her name is Emily. She is * km away, i just got out of prison jan 10th. I dont avoid her or cause trouble
Hi Emily,
I hope you're well. I was released from prison on January 10th, and I'm eager to comply with my probation requirements. However, I face significant challenges:
- The distance to your office (* km) is an unreasonable hardship due to my lack of transportation and financial constraints.
- I have made good faith efforts to comply, but I missed my first meeting and risk missing more due to these issues.
- Could we arrange virtual meetings or find a temporary solution until you visit my area in mid-February?
Thank you for understanding.
Best regards,
****

Hey Emily,
I hope you're doing well. As you know, I got out of prison on January 10th. I'm really trying to meet my probation requirements, but the * km distance to your office is a huge challenge for me without transportation or money.
I've been trying to comply, but I missed my first meeting and might miss more because of these issues. Can we arrange virtual meetings or find another temporary solution until you visit my area in mid-February?
Thanks for understanding.
Best,

Hey Emily, I know this is frustrating, but I'm really struggling right now. I got out on January 10th, and I genuinely want to comply with my probation requirements. The * km distance is too much for me without transportation or money. I missed my first meeting and will probably miss more. Can we do virtual meetings or find another temporary solution until you're here in mid-February? Thanks for understanding.
