Introduction

Probation and parole are mutually exclusive alternatives to incarceration. Probation is a sentence that the offender, rather than being incarcerated, is retained in the community under the supervision of a probation agency and is required to abide by certain rules and conditions to avoid incarceration.Parole is a release from prison, at the discretion of a parole board or other authority, before the completion of the prisoner’s entire sentence. Parole requires prisoner community supervision – adherence to rules and conditions of parole – upon release from prison. The time length of probation and parole can vary.
