The Defendant was sentenced to 364 days in jail, 2 years of community control, and a total of 13 years of probation. The sentence was legal under Florida law. Upon completing the jail portion of the sentence, the Defendant sought release but was instead held for a “dangerousness hearing.” At the hearing, the trial court modified the previously imposed probation conditions to include GPS monitoring; compliance with all sex offender conditions of probation and community control; entrance into residential alcohol treatment, immediately upon release; and no contact with minors without professional supervision. These conditions were not required by law.1

Before modifying a sentence, a trial court must always have jurisdiction. In the interests of due process, timely reductions of legal sentences are permissible under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(c). Here, we have neither a timely modification nor a reduction in the sentence. Therefore, the trial court erred when it added conditions to the Defendant’s probation. Consequently, the order is REVERSED and the additional conditions stricken.
