After release from a residential program, the juvenile will be supervised as part of post-commitment probation or conditional release. Both post-commitment probation and conditional release require the child to comply with special conditions that are similar to those imposed in a probation sentence. Violations can result in the juvenile being recommitted into a more restrictive residential program.
Conditional Release supervision violations are governed by administrative hearings conducted by department staff of the Department of Juvenile Justice. The court is not involved in conditional release violations. However, violations of post-commitment probation are handled by the court in the same manner as a violation of probation cases.
