That post was submitted by another website user, not Unlock. It's best to use the information published by Unlock further up the page, which is that if you are on post-sentence supervision you will be taken back to court. If they can't decide whether or not you are on post-sentence supervision then they can't take you to court without deciding that you are on post-sentence supervision. In any case, the court might not send you back to prison - they might fine you instead or make you do unpaid work.</span></span></span>Tue, 19 Sep 2017 12:19:44 GMTAB2014
