    My Son Was Picked Up On A Probation Violation
    :wallbang:My son was picked up and put in jail on sunday for a PV. He was told that he would have an answer by wednesday about getting out. He still does not have an answer. Is there anything I can do? He does not have a court hearing or has not been able to talk to anyone since tuesday. We live in Oregon

    Re: Need help for my son
    I have called and keep getting the run around. They tell me they are working on it. They tell me they don't know anything. Well today I called the supervisor because, he is not eating, not getting his medication I got no response from them. It seems like they don't care. He is only 19 and this is the first PV he has had.
    I don't know what else to do. I am scared that he is going to hurt himself or something and the PO will not listen.
    How long can they hold him before they have to let him go? He was giving 5 yrs probation and has only served 3 months.

    What do I do if he is not eating, sleeping or getting his meds? By law don't they have to give him his meds? I can't get any answers from anyone as to what is going on and it is really starting to bug me and make me mad. I don't think it is fair that my son be put through all of this just for a PV, and all the PV is for is missing a meeting with the PO after calling her to tell her he would not make it.

    He is an adult which means ther eisnt much they can or have to tell you. Talk to his Attorney is likely he/she can get some answers.

    Have you checked with the jail about their policies on medication, and whether you may take his medications to the jail for his use?

    (B) Escaped from the supervision, custody or control of the department or other supervisory authority.

    (2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, the department or other supervisory authority may order the arrest and detention of any person under its supervision or control if it has reasonable grounds to believe that such person is a danger to self or to others. A hearing shall follow as promptly as convenient to the parties to determine whether probable cause exists to continue detention pending a final determination of the case.

    The jail told me that I could not bring in his meds and that if he wanted them that he would have to pay for them. I don't think that is right. As for the attorney, well he was court appointed for my son when the crime happened 5 yrs ago, and tells me he is no longer his attorney. So now do we have to ask the court for a new attorney? :confused:

    You might make some calls to local Attorneys

    He was given five years probation and has been on probation for only three months, but was last represented by a lawyer five years ago?

    He can inquire with the court, or you can inquire on his behalf, about how he would petition for a new court-appointed lawyer.

    Re: My Son Was Picked Up On A Probation Violation
    He was sentenced for a Measure 11 crime to do 5 yrs in OYA and then 5 yrs Probation. He got out in August of this year after doing the 5 yrs and then started doing the 5 yrs probation. That is why he has not had a lawyer in 5 yrs.
    So if I understand you, either him or I must go to court and request a new lawyer? But what can be done about the jail not giving him his medication, is that something I need to let the judge and possibly the new lawyer know about?
