What happens if I am on Licence and I do not do what I am supposed to do?

If you do not follow the instructions or conditions of your licence, then on some occasions, you may be given a chance to give an explanation for why you broke the rules. If you do not give an explanation, or the reason you give does not excuse your behaviour, then you may be given a written warning.

However, on other occasions, particularly if you commit more crimes or continue to break the conditions of your licence, then it is very likely that you will be sent back to prison.
