Rehabilitation Paper Parole happens when the release of an inmate, before the termination of the inmate’s court-imposed sentence, with a period of supervision to be successfully completed by compliance with the conditions and terms of the release agreement ordered by the Commission. The decision of the Commission to parole an inmate shall stand for an act of grace of the State and should not be considered a right. Probation is a period of supervision in the community imposed by the court as an alternative to imprisonment. These offenders are supervised by the Department of Corrections. While on probation, a condition of the sentence may be to have weekly or monthly meetings with a probation officer. Other conditions might be applied to probation. A person might not be able to drive, or might have a curfew. He or she must also not commit further crimes while on probation, or the probation may be violated. This empowers the courts to send the person to jail to serve the length of the original sentence, and to serve any additional time for new crimes. Parole, on the other hand, is granted to people who are in jail. With many crimes, sentencing has a highest amount of years imposed. These years in jail, however, can be shortened if the person convicted of a crime behaves well in prison. After a time, a person in prison “comes up” for parole (probation and parole, 2010) Community corrections are an added way of rehabilitation for a released imamate. Screened applicants are assigned by the court to the program. An ankle bracelet is placed on an offender's ankle and they are monitored while in the public. Offenders can maintain working or attend court ordered programs while limited to their home at specified times.
