Re: Pennsylvania Parole Violation Drug Offense
The maximum penalty for cocaine PWID is ten years for a first offense and twenty years for a subsequent offense.
You haven't provided enough details about the original offense for me to provide more advice. I can tell you, however, that if the person was on STATE parole, then the state parole backtime hit must be served first and separately...in other words, you cannot get a concurrent sentence on the new case.
