Guam courts launch program to crack down on probation violations

“Swift action will be taken on probationers who violate their conditions, which begin with an expedited arrest, court hearing and outcomes to include temporary incarceration up to two, 15- and 30-day jail sentences,” Superior Court of Guam Presiding Judge Alberto C. Lamorena III stated. “Behaviors will be reshaped. It will become clear that sanctions handed out in open court in front of other probationers will be applied fairly and consistently to all. Good choices will help avoid sanctions.”
