Probably because FL gives no quarter to any SO in any way shape of form - it is highly unlike they will agree to shorten your probation but I hope they do!

Thank you Adovocate I'm just thinking I'm 58 and due to be on probation till 2022

Any communication between states is done through a program called ICOAS. There is no person to person communications between each state's PO's. (Has something to do with states rights and interstate commerce??) http://www.interstatecompact.org/

It's a sophisticated program that basically ties the PO's hands with regard to what they can do between the 2 states. You do have federal rights which the program facilitates. It's extremely complex and all the PO's hate it! If you have a PO who is willing to do this you should consider yourself very lucky that he is tiring to help you. There is a ton of paperwork required! I used it to transfer from Vermont to South Carolina.

If you are looking for early relief this program is not what will help you. It's design is to protect each state from violating each states laws. You will need to petition the court in the state where the offense occurred in order to get legal relief. And then the result must pass the current state's requirements.

Good luck!

Florida requires regular progress reports for people serving out their term of supervision in another state. Even though it's through ICOAS the communication channel is much simpler than initially transferring supervision out of state or even an interstate travel compact because technically you're still assigned to a Florida PO. You may never have direct contact with your Florida PO but you do have one.

The Florida PO probably isn't responding because of what Advocate2 said, no quarter for SO's. On top of that a Florida PO can't terminate supervision early that can only be done be petitioning the court of conviction. Much greater weight will be given to the opinion of the out of state PO that actually supervised the petitioner over that of the assigned Florida PO

I wish to thank all of you I had a feeling they wouldn't think of letting any of us off early. Would it be any easier to keep me on probation and just remove the bracelet there are many things I would enjoy doing things such as swimming during the summer.

Floriduh owns you're probation while Massachusetts owns the supervision. Mass cannot reduce conditions on the probation but can add to it. Mass can request reduction or even termination but it's only a recommendation. In my case I'm told that states have 60 days to respond. It's been over 60 days since my current PO asked to have my probation terminated and guess what... No response! You are always allowed to get a travel permit to go to Floriduh to petition the court but that's never a given.

GOOD LUCK!
