Community supervision, most commonly adult probation and parole, is a key component of correctional systems. Probation is a form of community supervision that requires individuals to be supervised and monitored by probation officers, who ensure their compliance with conditions of supervision. Most states impose “standard” conditions on probationers, including requiring individuals to attend school regularly or maintain employment, avoid associating with convicted felons, testing for drugs and alcohol, checking in periodically with the probation office, and remaining in the state or the district. Other “special” conditions, which are imposed by the court in particular cases, generally relate to the offense and are meant to preserve public safety. Common special conditions include orders to participate in behavioral health treatment or no-contact orders with victims. Parole is granted after a defendant has already served part of their sentence and the delegated body—usually a parole board—agrees that rehabilitative and public safety factors support early release into the community. Like those on probation, individuals on parole will likely meet regularly with supervision officers and be subject to standard and special conditions. Parole usually lasts for the remainder of an offender’s unserved sentence. In recent decades, the federal prison system and some states—notably Florida—have abolished parole in favor of early release after a fixed percentage of a sentence (usually 85 percent) has been served with no infractions.
