Need some more information. 10 years probation?

I hear Bora Bora is a really nice place.

We're in PA. My son has 15 years probation.

His PO checks in with him once a month. He cannot travel far. But he has a life. He works for me and on our payroll. It all depends on your state.

I was on Federal Supervised Release for 3 years. Came off in 2003. I reported once a month. Was restricted to the my Federal District and no other restrictions other than the Registry. Came off that in January, 2011. Six weeks later than I should have. Still don't feel completely free.
That's the problem. Regardless of what you can or can't do, that shadow stays with you. I don't let it control my life! That is the key. Do not let them control any more than the law says.
During my supervised release, I worked, socialized and generally did what I wanted, within the restrictions. It only bothered me when I had to go in monthly and ask to travel outside my district. After my fines were paid, I even went to the Caribbean on vacation! With permission, of course.
It is more annoying than anything else after a time. Like I said. It can't be the main focus of your life.

Coolrich did you go while still on supervision? And yes, 10 years supervision.

Problem is a felony sex conviction does stay with you and many countries will not allow you in even after your off the registry which sucks.

yousodumb,
Yes, I went to the Islands while on Supervision. I had to report to the Feds in St. Thomas once while I was there. Took 10 minutes. When I came back, I called my PO.
If there are any fines, vacations outside the District will not be approved until they are paid. Even if the vacation is paid by someone else.
I was hit before the prison terms and Supervision went into decades. That's why I only had 2 years in prison and 3 years SR. I also came off the registry before the AWA was passed in my state.
Guess the powers above figured I needed some luck somewhere.

@yousodumb; I only had state charges, and restrictions vary state to state. While on probation, I was allowed to travel for work--and that was a significant distance, I was able to travel to states bordering my state. Depending on the PO, and one's relationship with the PO, what one is allowed to do varies. I have been off probation for 5 years. I don't have restrictions outside of what laws exist in specific states that control my actions. I was able to go to Texas for the National RSOL conference this month.

What I can say about my time on supervision is that I was quite paranoid. It is easy to b paranoid. I am far improved in this regard. Groceries, shopping, you name it --- not a problem, even while on supervision. I own my own company, yet don't have a lot of clients because of my existing job.

I hope this helps...

While on the registry, do you have to ask to go to another state or check in with the local sheriffs office when you get there? OR do they give you a few days before you have to register with them?

Depends on the states that you travel to. Some allowed 24 hours and some allowed 5,7 days. It all depends on where do you go.

According to the AWA, you have to submit detailed travel plans if you will be away from home 3 days or more. This is anywhere. Even within the District. This will be the rule the Fed PO will use. If he goes to another state, the PO will demand he register regardless of the state rules.
