Parole is a controversial issue because its vase ways to debate the challenges and problems that will exist. It’s like a side effect to medication based on one’s effectiveness belief. In like manner, the public media allows others who aren’t immediately effected to become tertiary, and secondary victims. It is the door to open opinions. An inmate is released from a sentence given parole and then assigned a parole and probation officer. The one thing that will make probation and parole successful is the supervision of the program and rehabilitation or residential treatment center. This will support the goal to maximize the good behavior and minimize the harmful behaviors of individuals. Probation is a good program because it’s a form of rehabilitation that gives inmates elevate space to obey rules and regulations. On the contrary, probation is risky just like any new diet plan that people use to

The United States Parole system has been the longest running form of rehabilitation of inmates that have served time in the prison system. Parolees are granted parole by a committee that feel like the individual is ready to function normally back into society; in which case most are “maxed out” of the system, meaning that there is no more room in the prisons and due to good behavior within the prison walls these are the prisoners that are paroled out. Caseloads are at an all-time high due to the fact that parole officers are over worked and under paid, therefore there it is easier for the ex-cons to re-offend due to the lack of supervision that should be taking place. More often are the parolees just being released into society without supervision
The United States Criminal Justice System has several options available when it comes to sentencing. Probation is one that we hear of most when it comes to first time offenders as well as juvenile offenders. John Augustus first developed probation in Boston in 1841. The first probation law was enacted in Massachusetts in 1878. By the 1990’s the juvenile justice system was far more effective as it began taking greater measures. In 2010, probation was used in approximately 53 percent of juvenile delinquency cases. Typically, probation sentences are circumstantial, and are imposed under very specific terms and conditions. These must be followed by the defendant unless he or she would like to return
Shock Probation Shock probation is a punishment which is imposed by the court for releasing the offender back into the community under the conditions of the suspended sentence. This type of sanctions assumes that the offenders are not so dangerous that they may respond to rehabilitation while in the community. This type of sanction is imposed on the first-time offenders or non-violent offenders who it is believed that the remaining part of the sentence will best be served in the community while still serving the sentence. Cripe and Clair, 1997. Shock probation refers to a term of a number of years, but after a few days such as 30, 60 days or even 90 days the offender is then removed from the prison.
I’ve often wondered what it would be like to be on academic probation. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences reviews all students at the end of both the fall and spring semester and summer term to determine their academic standing. Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must maintain a 2.0 cumulative KU GPA in order to be in good academic standing. Students below the cumulative KU GPA of 2.0 are placed on probation (KU.edu). Freshman and sophomores on Probation (between 0 – 59 completed hours)

Parole and probation programs have been designed as alternatives to the confinement of a prison cell. The programs have been created for the portion of offenders who do not pose a threat to public safety. In the year 2008, the average daily cost for supervision of a probationer or parolee was about $4. The average daily cost to house an inmate was about $80. Obviously, if the individual was not a risk to the community they should be placed in these programs rather than be put in prison and suck taxpayers dry. If an offender is placed on parole or probation there are two ways they can end up in prison; committing a new crime or breaching conditions of their probation. Facts prove that life in prison without parole is swift, strict, and specific punishment. Those condemned to life have been sentenced to expire in prison. Between three different states figures varied from $18,000 to $26,000. The death penalty and life in prison are way more expensive than placing offenders who are not hazards to society in programs like parole and probation.
The community corrections experience begins, first two weeks as a probation officer and then two weeks as a probationer. As for my experience being the probationer was easiest. Probationer arrives late for first meeting, no problem. Probationer has no job, no problem. Probationer doesn’t want to stop drinking, let’s work on that. Probationer hasn’t attend last three meetings for anger management, let’s see if we can find something that fits your schedule. I know as the probationer in my experience my probation officer made it easy for me, she easily changed the subject if I started acting peculiar, when I was unable to do
Probation is when the sentence of being in prison is adjourned, and there is a period where the offender is place under supervision of a correctional officer.Probation also releases the person back into the community, but has less freedom then a regular citizen. Because it comes with conditions that the person must meet, for example: see their probation officer, and have good behavior, if they do not meet these conditions they violate probation, and their probation may be revoke or amended(Phillips,2014).
...on. Probation is not a right, it is an alternative to incarceration and the conditions surrounding it are anything but a vacation from prison. In talking daily with offenders while conducting PSI’s it is evident that many offenders either do not have to money to pay their fees and fines or are mentally unable to comply with the terms of probation. If given the good fortune to assess all the strengths and weakness presented along with all the knowledge gained through the field practice experience the grade of “A” would come to mind, however, the knowledge gained is alone enough satisfaction.

As drug addiction becomes an increasing problem, we are posed with the question of what to do with these addicts. Is it better to send them to prison where they can attempt to get better, or to a rehabilitation facility where they can be treated by professionals? I personally believe that drug addicts should be placed into a rehabilitation program rather than being placed in prison due to the reduced risk of post incarceration syndrome, the reduced cost, and the overall benefits of support they receive in a program afterwards.
In the state of Florida in the year of 2008- 2009 there was a total of 100, 619 offenders who were admitted onto probation and 64.2% of them were released off of probation being successful. Probation supervision is provided to adults offenders who have been sentenced to some type of supervision. While on this supervision the probation officer is to refer the offender to community resources for things they need help with such as a job, some kind of treatment, maybe even drug test for supervise substance abuse, or even using an electronic monitor to know the offenders location. The probation officer is to report things that may go against what the offender is to do, such as failing a drug test would be reported to the court system, or violating parole would need to be reported to the Florida Board of Parole. In Florida we have different types of probation, the different types work with the offender as to what they have been charged for and how serious their conviction is. While an offender is on probation they are under the supervision of a probation officer.

The probation officer is to up keep all the information that has been given to the offender and document all contact with the offender.
