What rights does a defendant have when they plead guilty to breaching the conditions of their probation?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Segal, 549 F.2d 1293 (9th Cir. 1977):

Appellant, the majority states "does not claim that she was denied any of the rights described in Gagnon v. Scarpelli." That is true, but irrelevant. What appellant does claim is that by admitting the alleged violations of the conditions of her probation she lost the benefit of most of these rights, and that the record does not disclose she did so knowingly. Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 89 S.Ct. 1709, 23 L.Ed.2d 274 (1969), requires that the waiver of rights implicit in a guilty plea appear on the face of the record. The reason for this requirement is that the rights involved are significant and the consequence of their waiver is grave. The rights waived by admitting a violation of the conditions of probation are equally significant, and the result that may follow is the very same loss of liberty to which the defendant is exposed by a guilty plea.
