Community Supervision

Probation Supervision and Treatment

Probation is a sentence a convict receives when released from confinement but still under court supervision. A convicted person given probation supervision and treatment has some freedom on the condition that for a specified period, s/he must act in a manner approved by a special officer that he offender reports to.

Decision makers and stakeholders include the judge, treatment providers, probation representatives and offender – as well as the offender’s family.

These key decisions include:

1. Probation supervision level
2. Assignment to special caseloads, type, dosage, duration, and intensity of treatment,
3. How best to respond to the terms and conditions of the court order contact levels
4. Complexity of case plans dependent on risk and need levels
5. Assessing motivational readiness to address a given need
6. Availability of programming to fit the need
7. Addressing non-compliance/probation violation decisions.
