    Default 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?

    Default Re: Should You Surrender Yourself on a Parole Violation Warrant

    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.
