⚖️ California Legal Definition of a Parole Violation

Parole is a conditional release from prison that allows individuals to serve the remainder of their sentence under supervision. Violating the terms of parole can result in immediate arrest and possible return to custody — even if the violation is minor. In California, parole is governed by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) under Penal Code § 3056.

There are two main types of parole violations:

Technical Violations
These are non-criminal breaches of parole conditions, such as:

  • Missing a scheduled meeting with a parole officer

  • Failing a drug or alcohol test

  • Violating curfew or travel restrictions

  • Associating with known felons

  • Failing to maintain employment or residence

Substantive Violations
These occur when a parolee is accused of committing a new crime while on parole, including:

  • Drug possession or distribution

  • Assault or theft offenses

  • Gun or weapon-related charges

  • Domestic violence or other felonies

Depending on the violation, the individual may be placed on a parole hold (PC § 3056), which suspends their right to bail while the CDCR reviews the case. However, in some situations — particularly for technical violations — it may still be possible to obtain bail with the right legal strategy.

At Cali Bail Bonds, we understand the urgency and complexity of parole violation cases. We’re here to help you navigate the system, communicate with parole officers, and move quickly to secure your loved one’s release whenever possible.

Types of Parole Violation in California

Parole violations in California can range from minor technical breaches to serious offenses involving new criminal charges — and the consequences vary just as widely. At Cali Bail Bonds, we provide fast, statewide bail support for eligible parole violation cases. Whether your loved one is being held on a technical violation or facing revocation due to a new felony, our team is here to help you understand the situation and take swift action.

Technical Parole Violations

These violations don’t involve new criminal offenses but still break the conditions of parole. While they may seem less severe, technical violations can still result in immediate detention, parole holds, and potential return to prison — especially without quick intervention.

Common Examples of Technical Violations:

  • Missing a scheduled meeting with a parole officer

  • Failing a drug or alcohol test

  • Violating curfew or travel restrictions

  • Failing to maintain employment or residency

  • Contacting prohibited individuals or entering restricted areas

Consequences of Technical Violations:

  • Immediate arrest and placement on a parole hold under Penal Code § 3056

  • Possible return to custody without the option for bail

  • Parole revocation hearings and re-incarceration

  • Increased supervision or extension of parole term

While technical violations don’t always result in new criminal charges, they are taken seriously by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) — and can lead to significant setbacks if not handled quickly and carefully.

Substantive Parole Violations

Substantive violations occur when a parolee is arrested for committing a new crime while on parole. These cases are more serious and often result in a parole hold and additional criminal charges — potentially triggering harsher penalties and longer incarceration.

Common Examples of Substantive Violations:

  • Drug possession, DUI, or theft while on parole

  • Assault, domestic violence, or weapon possession

  • Committing a felony while under supervision

  • Violating protective or stay-away orders

  • Gang-related activity or firearm offenses

Consequences of Substantive Violations:

  • Parole hold issued immediately upon arrest

  • Bail often not available until reviewed by parole board or judge

  • New criminal charges filed — with potential sentence enhancements

  • High bail amounts if release becomes possible

  • Risk of returning to prison to complete original sentence, plus new time

Substantive parole violations often result in revocation hearings, and even if bail is granted for the new charge, the parole hold can keep a person in custody. That’s why it’s critical to work with a bail bond team that understands the legal complexities of these cases.

Why Bail May Still Be Possible in Some Cases

Although many parole holds prevent immediate release, certain circumstances — such as delayed hearings, legal challenges, or minor technical violations — may allow for bail eligibility. At Cali Bail Bonds, we work closely with families, attorneys, and the CDCR to determine:

  • Whether bail is an option

  • What conditions must be met for release

  • How to post bail quickly once it becomes available

  • How to prepare for a revocation hearing or future court dates

No two parole violation cases are the same. Whether your loved one made a simple mistake or is facing serious allegations, Cali Bail Bonds moves fast to support your family, protect your rights, and explore every option for early release. We’re available 24/7 to assist with inmate searches, payment plans, and expert guidance through this complex process.

What Is the Bail Amount for Parole Violation In California?

Bail for parole violations in California can be complex and varies based on the type of violation, the individual’s parole status, and whether a new crime has been committed. In many cases, individuals are held on a parole hold under California Penal Code § 3056, which suspends their right to bail until a parole revocation hearing is held. However, in some situations — particularly for technical violations — bail may become available, either immediately or after legal intervention.

Typical Bail Scenarios for Parole Violations

Technical Violations (If Bail Is Granted)

$10,000 – $25,000
This applies to less severe, non-criminal breaches of parole conditions, such as missing a meeting, violating curfew, or testing positive for a controlled substance. While a parole hold may initially prevent release, bail could be set if the violation is considered low risk and the court permits it after review.

Substantive Violations (New Criminal Charges While on Parole)

$50,000 – $150,000+
When a parolee is arrested for committing a new offense — such as theft, assault, or drug crimes — bail is typically based on the severity of the new charge. However, even if bail is posted for the new offense, the individual may remain in custody due to the active parole hold. Bail amounts can be significantly higher if the new crime involves violence, firearms, or other aggravating factors.

Factors That May Influence Bail (If Applicable):

  • Type of violation (technical vs. substantive)

  • Severity of any new alleged offense

  • Prior violations or parole history

  • Flight risk or failure to appear in the past

  • Risk to public safety

  • Ties to the community and employment status

 Factors That Affect Bail Amounts for Parole Violations

In California, bail for parole violations isn’t automatically granted — especially when a parole hold is in place. However, if bail becomes available after a hearing or legal review, the judge will evaluate several key factors to determine the appropriate amount. Understanding these factors can help you prepare — and know how Cali Bail Bonds can step in with flexible payment plans, 1% down options (OAC), and 24/7 support.

Prior Criminal and Parole History

If the individual has a history of multiple parole violations, prior felony convictions, or has failed to comply with supervision in the past, the court may see them as a high-risk case. Repeat violations often result in higher bail or extended custody to protect public safety and ensure accountability.

Flight Risk

Judges assess whether the parolee is likely to appear in court or flee. Factors like no stable residence, lack of employment, or a past failure to appear (FTA) increase the chance of higher bail or denial altogether. Strong community ties and a clean parole record may work in the defendant’s favor.

Public Safety Concerns

If the parole violation involves violence, weapons, or threats to others, the court may consider the individual a danger to the community. This can lead to higher bail, or in some cases, no bail until the parole board or judge determines otherwise. Allegations involving domestic violence, firearms, or gang activity typically raise serious red flags.

New Criminal Charges (Substantive Violations)

If the violation involves a new arrest, bail will usually be based on the new charges — such as assault, theft, drug possession, or firearms violations. Judges will weigh the severity of those charges along with the fact that the defendant was already under supervision when the new crime occurred.

Parole Board or CDCR Recommendations

In many parole violation cases, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) or parole board plays a role in determining whether release is possible. If they oppose release or recommend holding the individual due to risk factors, bail may be denied or set at a significantly higher amount.

Enhancements & Special Circumstances

Parolees accused of violating conditions involving gang activity, weapons, repeat strikes, or contact with protected individuals (e.g., victims, minors, peace officers) may face enhanced charges or strict court conditions. These aggravating elements nearly always lead to higher bail or detention without bail.

Steps

How The Bail Process Works

Getting arrested for a parole violation can be confusing and emotionally overwhelming — especially when you’re unsure whether bail is even an option. At Cali Bail Bonds, we help you make sense of the process and take fast action if release becomes possible. Here’s how the bail bond process works for parole violations in California:

01.

Arrest & Booking

The parolee is arrested for either a technical violation (like missing a check-in) or a new criminal offense. In most cases, a parole hold is placed, meaning no bail is initially allowed while the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) investigates the violation.

02

Bail Set by Judge

The parole board or judge will review the case. For technical violations, a revocation hearing may be scheduled. If a new charge is involved, the court may decide to lift the parole hold or allow bail for the new offense — especially if it’s a non-violent or low-level crime.

03.

Contact Cali Bail Bonds

Once you know your loved one is in custody, call us immediately. We’ll help determine: If a parole hold is active Whether bail is possible What steps must be taken next We also offer a free inmate search to locate your loved one and gather critical booking info.

04.

Sign & Pay Online

If bail becomes available, we’ll walk you through the bond process step-by-step. You can sign forms online, choose a payment plan, and move forward — even if you’re in another city or out of state. Our 1% down option (OAC) and no collateral bail bonds may be available depending on the case.

05.

We Post Bail

Once the judge or CDCR allows bail, our licensed agents head to the jail facility and post the bond immediately. In most cases, we can act within minutes of approval.

06.

Release from Jail

If the parole hold is lifted and bail is posted, the defendant will be released — usually within 1 to 4 hours, depending on the facility’s processing time.

07.

Attend Court

The parolee must appear in all required court hearings and parole revocation proceedings, and comply with all conditions set by the court or parole board. Failing to do so may result in re-arrest and loss of bail.

Payment Plan Options

At Cali Bail Bonds, we understand that dealing with a parole violation can be stressful — and the cost of bail (if it’s granted) can add even more pressure. That’s why we offer flexible, affordable payment options designed to help you or your loved one get released quickly, without creating unnecessary financial strain. Whether bail is set at $10,000 or $150,000, we’ll work closely with you to find a solution that fits your budget and gets the process moving fast.

10% Standard Bail Bonds

In California, the legal bail bond premium is 10% of the total bail amount. This is a one-time, non-refundable fee that allows us to post bail on your behalf.
Example: If bail is set at $75,000, the premium would be $7,500.

 1% Down Bail Bonds (On Approved Credit)

Don’t have the full 10% upfront? You may qualify for our 1% down program, allowing you to get started with as little as 1% of the bail amount.
We’ll divide the remaining balance into a zero-interest payment plan — so your loved one doesn’t have to stay in custody while you gather funds.

 Flexible Payment Plans

We work with your income, credit, and budget to create a manageable plan. Most of our clients choose 3 to 12-month plans, and we never charge hidden fees or penalties.
Our goal is to make the bail process as affordable and stress-free as possible.

 No Collateral Bail Bonds

In many parole violation cases — especially technical ones — we can offer no collateral bail bonds, provided the co-signer meets certain criteria like:

  • Stable job or income

  • Decent credit score

  • No prior bond forfeitures

This means you won’t have to put up property or assets to secure the bond.

 Accepted Payment Methods

We accept a wide range of payment options for your convenience:

  • Credit & Debit Cards

  • Zelle

  • Cash

  • Bank Transfers

  • Online Payments (mobile or desktop)

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you bail someone out for a parole violation in California?

In many cases, no — a parole hold (under Penal Code § 3056) prevents bail until the parole board or a judge reviews the case. However, for some technical violations or low-risk cases, bail may be allowed after a hearing.

What is a parole hold?

A parole hold is a legal order that keeps a person in custody while the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) investigates an alleged parole violation. It usually suspends the right to bail until further review.

How long can someone be held on a parole violation?

A person can be held without bail for up to 30 days or more pending a revocation hearing. However, this can vary depending on the nature of the violation and how quickly the CDCR or courts process the case.

What types of parole violations may allow bail?

Technical violations (like missed check-ins or curfew violations) are more likely to qualify for bail — especially if the parole officer or judge lifts the hold. Substantive violations involving new criminal charges are more complex and may still allow bail for the new offense.

What happens at a parole revocation hearing?

At this hearing, the parole board decides whether the parolee violated conditions and whether they’ll return to prison, face stricter supervision, or be reinstated. Bail is often discussed only after the hearing or during legal proceedings for a new offense.

How much is bail for a parole violation?

There’s no standard bail for parole violations. If bail is granted (usually for a new offense), it will depend on the new charge, criminal history, risk factors, and whether enhancements apply. Bail can range from $10,000 to over $150,000.

Can you bail someone out while a parole hold is still active?

No. If a parole hold is active, posting bail won’t result in release. The hold must first be lifted by the CDCR, parole officer, or court before bail can take effect.

How do I find out if my loved one is eligible for bail?

Call Cali Bail Bonds at 888-365-3113. We offer a free inmate search and can check parole hold status, bail eligibility, booking info, and help you understand your next steps.
