Revocation of probation

Revocation of probation occurs when a person who was sentenced to probation violates the terms set by the court, such as committing a new crime, failing to report regularly, or not following other conditions. When this happens, the court may cancel (revoke) their probation and order the person to serve the original sentence in jail or prison. Essentially, it’s a way for the legal system to enforce compliance with probation rules, ensuring that individuals meet their obligations and maintain lawful behavior during their supervised release.
