Is There Bail if Your Probation Has Been Revoked?
Question by lovemybabies: Is there bail if your probation has been revoked?
I have a cousin who has been on the run since 2006 and ever since went to a drug treatment program which she has graduated from and now has 2 children. She works 2 part time jobs & has been working since 2008 till present. How shall she turn herself in? She has no one to care for her children & her boyfriend needs to work to pay the bills. Should she get a lawyer?

yes, get a lawyer. She needs to face those charges and deal with them. Make sure she has documented paperwork for her drug treatment graduation and any thing else that might show how she is committed to being clean and obeying laws.
She might even be able to get a public defender which is free. She should only turn her self in once she’s spoken with the lawyer as the lawyer should be with her when she turns herself in. This will provide her with the best chance of NOT getting remanded to the jail and being able to still take care of the kids.
But! be prepared that the court and judge will remand her due to her history or being on the run and a bail will be set if she chooses to bail out of jail while her case goes to court.
