Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a parolee fails a drug test, a revocation hearing is typically the first step before any harsher penalties such as shock incarceration or revocation of parole. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A, shock incarceration, may be a possible consequence of violating parole, but it is not usually the first step. Option C, revocation of parole, is a possible consequence, but it usually follows a revocation hearing. Option D, placing the parolee on probation, is not a consequence of violating parole, as they are already on parole. Option E, admitting to the charges, may be a necessary step in the revocation process, but it is not the immediate consequence.
