Description
Immediate sanction program created. Creates a specialized probation program available to offenders who are on probation pursuant to a suspended sentence and have not been convicted of a violent felony. The program provides for immediate arrest of a probation violator whose violation is not another crime for which confinement can be imposed or absconding for more than seven days. He would then be subject to a minimum of three to 10 days in jail, with the terms of confinement escalating for each subsequent offense. After serving his sentence for the fourth violation, the defendant would become ineligible for the immediate sanction program. The program is to be initially administered by the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission as a pilot program in no more than five pilot sites. Read the Bill »
