a probation violation puts the violator at risk of having to finish the original sentence. anything less than that would be considered a win

He will most probably have to finish the remainder of his original sentence. If he didn't catch another charge, he should be out in March or thereabouts.

New charge or not, the violation sends him to the prison he was originally incarcerated to potentially complete the first sentence that he got parole/probation on, in its entirety.

They get credit for time served locked up, not time in probation

If we are talking about the same thing, a blue warrant is a warrant issued for a parole violation. We do not make recommendations about lawyers. But this lawyer would be a "post-conviction" specialist.

Most likely it's a mix of both. The program will probably be in some reentry facility that will alternately offer the drug counseling but also job placement - where she works on the street but sleeps there at night... for a transition period leading to getting all the way home (remember there is a range of possibilities we are just speculating...). You may obtain all of that information as it will be on the Parole Report as approved by the Board.

Typically, there is no bond and if the PO's charge affidavit is strong enough he will have to serve the remainder of time left on his original sentence. If he is contrite at the hearing and the judge is in a good mood, he might get a second chance but we would only give that a

Your friend might have been granted parole but is awaiting release. Inmates are usually interviewed by the Board four months prior to parole eligibility. The reason for this is to allow enough time for a thorough investigation to be conducted on those inmates granted parole with regard to the parolee's residence and programs etc. Inmates cannot be released on parole until the minimum eligibility date is met, and the parole plan has been approved by Parole and Probation.

The offender will have to do the entire remainder of their original sentence.

Yes, probably. He will have to get the Probation Office in the county he wishes to transfer to in Virginia to coordinate the transfer of supervision over to them. It is a very common thing, however, the offender must have a suitable home to live in, a job and the ability to pay back any fees related to the supervision. Not to mention, his conduct record, while incarcerated, will have a large bearing on whether they will consider this.
