    Should You Surrender Yourself on a Parole Violation Warrant
    If you know that a parole violation warrant has been issued for your arrest, what should you do? Should you turn yourself in? What will happen if you do not?

    If you don't turn yourself in, odds are, one day you're going to have a random police encounter (e.g., a traffic stop) or have the police show up at your home with a warrant, and you'll be arrested and taken to jail.

    You can surrender yourself to a police agency or to the probation officer, and odds are you will be incarcerated until you have a court hearing. There will generally not be an option to post bond on a parole violation warrant. If you want to try to avoid jail time, retain a criminal defense lawyer to arrange your surrender in court.

    The longer you wait to address your warrant, the more likely it is that you'll end up spending a significant amount of time behind bars.
