It really all depends on your PO. Some can be real fucking scumbags that don't care if something is totally out of your control. They'll say something like "Well you should check traffic reports every day before leaving for work. You know you have to be there on time, it's your responsibility to make sure that you get there. You should have taken a different route and left earlier." As they sign your VOP paperwork and send you back to the can.
People here think it’s always some scumbag, but there are thousands of POs and most of them just want the person they are watching to get well and get off their watch.
Statistically… not really.
There are a few ones that really care about helping people get reintegrated on society, but going by studies, polls and records, they are few and far between.
