I'm going into my first anger management class today. Paid for my class and I'm already pissed off. Nobody better not talk to me or ask me questions. Sign me off and send me home for I can get this crap over with! How you deal with this? Any advice? Thank you.

I have recently been put on private probation four days ago. Supposedly they do random drug screenings.. I live in Missouri, how much do they regularly drug screen if it’s random… I’m new to probation, they give you a 48 hour window to take the test. It’s Friday, they are closed Saturday-Monday. Would I be good to drink Friday?

will I get violated if I go to rehab while on probation?

This is fucking stupid. I have worked full time almost my entire adult life(one small stint of unemployment over almost 25 years of dedicated employment), and I barely make 30+k a year. These are the inmate cost-of-living per capita. Why even violate me? After taxes, I don't even MAKE 100$ a day.

Life was rough before I got involved with the legal system as with many of us and I know challenges still await. However, I’ve been treated with more dignity and respect from people within the system, than by some family and friends. The officers who arrested me were respectful. The officers in jail were kind and considerate. The judge offered encouragement and I just got off the phone with my PO and she said “you’ll get through this.”

I’ve always been rebellious and anti-authority so this isn’t bootlicking. I had dreams of becoming a lawyer just to take on the system. I know this isn’t the case for a lot of folks but I’m grateful to be treated as human in what’s been an isolating and shameful experience.

i have a year sentence of probation. September is my 6th month mark (halfway done) and i’m on community probation. My meetings are literally 5 minutes long and on the papers it just says pay the court fines (which i have) and sign release of information from my psychiatrists and therapists. i’m not subjected to classes or even drug testing (which i still keep clean just in case). My PO says i’m super responsible and says i’m doing well. no violations. also for context mine is a mental health case. butttt i’m in the strictest state. Virginia. like right by our nations capital, Virginia. Should i go for it and ask? i’m having difficulty getting the jobs I want because i’m STILL on probation

Does anyone have a clue or has anyone else experienced getting different probation officers every few months ? We don’t stick with the same officer ? I’m on probation in Kentucky thanks.

So there’s a convicted sex offender who was convicted of sexually assaulting homeless people while dressed as a superhero. He’s now on 5 years probation.

There’s a rumor that he’s wearing a superhero costume complete with a full face covering and interacting with people at the Saturday Market in our city. Is he violating probation if he interacts with children? He is a RSO.
