Probation and Parole

Parole is a conditional release from prison which entitles the person receiving it to serve the remainder of the term outside the prison, but technically the person will still be under the Department of Corrections. Typical conditions of parole can include periodic meetings with parole officers, foregoing the possession of weapons, and not associating with known criminals.

Probation is ordered by a judge as a sentence in lieu of jail time or imprisonment or in addition to it. Under probation, the individual lives in the community, sometimes under the supervision of a probation officer, for a set period of time.

If you violate the terms of your parole or probation, you can face serious consequences. These consequences could include the parole or probation being revoked, which will mean that you will have to serve the remainder of your sentence or have the maximum sentence imposed on you for the violation. Other consequences might involve being placed in an electronically monitored home program, increased supervision, or being placed in a day program.
