I would like to know what the consequences are if there is still unpaid restitution once probationary period is complete.
My boyfriend is currently at the Oakland County jail in Pontiac Michigan for a year, he owes 130,000 in restitution and is on probation for 5 years (well 4 more by the time he is released next year). He will only be able to work a minimum wage job and there is no chance of this all being paid within that time no matter how much we try.
Will he be slapped with a probation violation for this once the 5 years is up and sent to prison even if he assigns whatever wages he makes?
OR
Will they extend probation till its paid (Can they keep someone on probation for a lifetime in Michigan? I was told the max is 5 years)
OR
will they let him off probation and revert it to a civil issue?
Each research route Ive tried has yielded me these varying options.
But I found a stipulation in Michigan legislature that says a defendant cannot be jailed or incarcerated for this if unless they find that he has the means to pay and hasnt done so or hasnt made a good faith effort to pay.
Any insight?
Im extremely concerned and confused.
