PROBATION & PAROLE

Parole and probation are used in the sentencing phase of the criminal-justice system. Parole refers to the condition of supervised release that occurs after an offender has spent time in prison. Probation is a sentence imposed instead of prison and is usually subject to terms and conditions designed to make the offender a law-abiding citizen.

It is important to note that any violation, which can be as little as failing to report on time, can cause the probation to be lifted and an immediate reinstatement of harsher penalties, usually jailtime.
