CONDITIONS OF PROBATION Introduction The Court has placed you on Probation, expecting you to use this opportunity to prove to yourself and to others that you are capable of living a socially acceptable life as a productive and responsible, law-abiding member of society. Probation is not leniency, but rather a form of treatment consciously chosen because there is reason to believe that the objective of justice will be fulfilled and the interests of society protected, while at the same time, your needs as the offender will be met. A Probation Officer will be assigned to work with you, to help you make an acceptable social adjustment. The Officer will help you in every way possible, will be available for counseling when problems arise, and will submit regular reports of your progress to the Court. It is also the Probation Officers duty to require you to live by the conditions of Probation. The Officer has the authority and responsibility to enforce these conditions by notifying the Court of any violation and recommending your appearance before the Court as a Probation Violator. Your goal is to terminate your sentence successfully. This can be accomplished if you will demonstrate an acceptable attitude and responsible conduct of the Court, you may earn a final release from Probation and retain the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship. The conditions of Probation have been carefully designed as guidelines for acceptable Probation behavior. If you should violate one or more of these conditions of Probation, the Court has the legal authority to revoke your Probation and commit you to a state institution to serve your sentence. FINANCIAL AGREEMENT In addition to other conditions of Probation, all individuals on Probation shall pay an Administration Fee, an Initial User Fee, and a Monthly User Fee. This Fee is to be paid to the Porter County Adult Probation Office by the 5th day of each month. Only a Cashiers Check, Money Order, cash or GPS Government Payment Service Generated Credit Card Receipt will be accepted. Failure to pay these User Fees will constitute a violation of the Court Order. I further understand that if I am granted permission to be in another state, or if I should be there without permission and my return to Indiana is authorized, I hereby waive extradition to the State of Indiana and agree not to contest efforts to effect such return.
