Re: setting bond for violation of probation
Someone who is charged with a crime is entitled to bond. This man is charged with breach of an agreement with the Court. The theory is that probation is a sentence that eliminates the requirement of jail if the probationer complies with certain rules. Bond is not a matter of right in a VOP. Depending on the severity of the infraction, most judges impose some jail time for VOP. The time he spends now counts towards his sentence.
