MISDEMEANOR PROBATION

People convicted of misdemeanor crimes may be able to avoid a jail sentence by doing misdemeanor probation. Depending on the seriousness of the case, ten common conditions of misdemeanor probation are:

1. Not committing any other crimes while the case is open.
2. Abstaining from drugs and alcohol.
3. Submitting to regular drug and alcohol testing.
4. Attending counseling.
5. Attending rehab.
6. Attending anger management classes.
7. Abiding by a protective order and not contacting the victims in the case.
8. Wearing an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet.
9. Paying fines and victim restitution.
10. Completing community service.

In Colorado, probation can last no longer than 5 years. And defendants may be eligible to apply for early termination if they completed all the conditions of their probation.

Meanwhile, defendants who violate the terms of their probation risk having their probation revoked and being remanded to jail to serve out the remainder of their sentence. And prosecutors do not have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant violated probation for the judge to revoke it; they just have to show by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant violated the terms. Though in some cases, judges do give defendants a second chance by letting them stay on probation but with harsher terms.
