Supervised release is something in New York that’s become more prevalent since the commencement of the Bail Reform Act. It can take on many different forms. Typically, there’s going to be a probation officer that’s going to be involved that a person charged with a crime will have to check in with each time they go to court. It can also involve the installation of an ankle monitoring bracelet where you would still have to check in with your probation officer each time that you come back to court.

If you or someone you love has violated the terms of their supervised release, you can easily land back in prison. When people are facing difficult legal situations what matters is results.
