    Default New York Probation Early Release

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: new york

    i was sentenced to 3 years probation for possession of ecstasy and drug paraphernalia, both misdemeanors. since then i have been employed full time, and going to school and doing well and have become a volunteer firefighter. i completed rehab with a great recommendation as well. i have been clean and have no issues with law enforcement. my question is what are my chances of early release in ny state? i think there is a mandatory 1/3 rule for time served but im not sure. i dont want to ask my probation officer because i think it will look bad and he will hold it against me. also, because it was a drug conviction, does that make it less likely for me to get early release? if anyone is familiar with new york probation policies/procedures please let me know

    For a class "A: Misdemeanor in NYS you must serve a minimum of 12 months. make your Probation officer your best friend, and definetly ask if you can be released early. They should generally start the process after you served ten months.
    Also get a certificate of relief of disability from the court. Your probation officer can help you with that.
