If you are charged with a CSL / PSL violation, your parole may be revoked or you may be charged with a new criminal offense — or both.  If this occurs, you can face a prison sentence.  You can also face even more parole conditions.  Therefore, it is vital to talk to a NJ lawyer if you face alleged violations of your CSL/PSL conditions.

Our law firm has represented those charged with a variety of CSL/PSL violations, such as:

• Failure to refrain from social media use
• Alcohol consumption
• Contacting minors
• Not residing at approved residence
• Living with minors without approval
• Not participating in sex offender counseling
• Testing positive for illegal drugs

Consequences of PSL / CSL Violation:

A defendant’s violation will be dealt with based on whether the person is on CSL or PSL.  For those on CSL, violations are heard in the trial court (criminal division) in the county in which the person was violated.  Generally, PSL violations are heard by the NJ State Parole Board.  However, they may also be prosecuted as a crime in court.

In PSL matters, the parole board has the authority to impose additional parole conditions or return the offender to prison.  In contrast, in the case of a CSL violation, the registrant faces up to 18 months in prison unless a prison sentence would be a “manifest injustice.”
