Re: Probation

Generally, when this occurs, the court or District Attorney's office will obtain a transport order which orders the Department of Corrections to transport your son to the appropriate county so that he can answer the charges and/or petition against him. He won't be viewed to have a duty to be in court while he's in custody.
