Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

Geogia probation detention center

I signed a waiver to go to a probation detention center for 6 months for a probation violation here in Georgia. The waiver stated that I should remain in jail pending bedspace to the PDC. The jail made a mistake and released me by accident. My question is how can I get out of going to the PDC. Any loopholes since they made a mistake in releasing me? I served 12 months in jail prior to signing the waiver so I believe that I learned my lesson. I am on probation for a felony drug charge and they are sending me to PDC for 6 months for failure to report. I did report after they accidentally released me and my probation officer told me that the jail made a mistake on my paperwork. This happened in Chatham County.

You must file a motion to amend probated sentence, the same thing your po did to get you into court is what your lawyer will have to try to do to keep you out....seek local counsel asap
