It appears (based on this brief description) that you showed no attempt and made no attempt to meet the requirements of your parol. 3 years to complete 200 hrs... how many hours have you completed? and using while on parole is a direct offence, especially when you knew they would be testing. I may be wrong but I believe you will spend a little time away. Try to make a case as to why you have not completed your parole obligations and set up a plan with concrete deadlines to meet the requirements of your parole. Show the judge remorse, that you have aplan, and stick to the plan, show maturity and responsibility... the judge may have sympothy for you and your situation wether you deserve it or not, but don't screw up again or there will be no sympathy the next time.

You got yourself into this mess. I feel sorry for your daughter. Hopefully you won't have to tell her she was born in prison.

Yet again another person who had every chance to get her life in order, has chosen not to do so. And we should feel sorry for you???. What has this unfortunate child done to receive a prison sentence, nothing except to be born to a person like you. Why on earth could not your husband and you have praticed birth control. If your husband would not, there are plenty of ways that you could have protected yourself. Again it is the children of people like you that have to suffer.I am going to stop because it just makes me angry to think about the situation and that wretched child.

wow that's ****** up.
smoking pot while you're pregnant?!
I would think in 3 years you could do 200 hours.

If you get a nice judge they will put you on house arrest. Good luck with that

Do you have a lawyer? If so, ask your lawyer what to expect, we don't know the specifics of your case or what state you are in or anything like that. It will be up to the discretion of the judge. If you don't have an attorney, I suggest you get one. The attorney may be able to help, or put off your court date for various reasons until after your baby is born. I work for a criminal defense law firm and we get things put off for months all the time. We are also in a county with an overloaded court system though, so again, it will depend where you are.

Get a lawyer. You'll need it. That's all you can do. It's up to a judge to decide.

My God, you sound like a real winner. The best thing that can happen is the baby is taken away from you. You should not be reproducing. Go back to jail and do your time, and please, please, please, get fixed. Do not reproduce and put any more versions of you in the world.

Hope this helps.

I'm not really up to speed (nor do I want to be) on how to get out of punishment you deserve....

I'm just curious....why didn't you think of this while you were refusing to do community service?

You had 3 years to do the community service, but instead you decided to party, do drugs, etc. Now, all of a sudden you expect the rules to change.

I hope they put you in jail for the completion of your original sentence. Maybe then you will grow up and become a good parent.

No offense met, but you had a ton of time before the end of September to complete 200 hours. Dont expect your PO to have any sympathy, simply because they hear sob stories all day, all the time, about how people "make mistakes that arent they're fault". Unfortunately, getting pregnant is another common way for a sob story.

I dont know the full situation, but if I was you, i'd make some effort to start on the outstanding hours, and show the judge that you are serious about the conditions of the order. He might show sympathy and allow an extension, but dont be surprised if your current record of not taking it seriously results in you giving birth behind bars.

Sorry, I have no sympathy for you. Potheads should not be reproducing.

it is up to your PO..getting high is not good for your baby..think of what is best for the baby...i think you are a selfish person..

i have been in your shoes..time to grow up ..jail will give you a glimpse of your future if you don't take life seriously
