Probation

Find out what a probation sentence is like, how to access probation information, and what happens if you violate your probation sentence.

A probation sentence, sometimes called community supervision, gives you the opportunity to stay in the community, work, and be with your family and friends with specific conditions instead of being sentenced to prison or the house of correction. A probation officer will be assigned to help and monitor you while you’re on probation.
