Is it easier to supervise someone on probation or parole?

Question

Let me rephrase...WHO is it easier to supervise? Someone on probation or someone on parole?

Answer 1

Sorry, but there is no simple or pat answer to this question. It depends entirely on the person being supervised and the circumstances.
In an ideal world, people who are given probation are less of a threat to society than those on parole, who have already been to prison. However, we don't live in an ideal world, and I've seen people who have been to prison, got out on parole, committed new crimes (WHILE ON PAROLE) and given probation for the new crime. Go figure.

Answer 2

I would agree with the other person who stated the person on Parole would be eaiser to supervise (in theory). It is my understanding that part of the terms of the parole often include maintianing a job and staying out of trouble. Both are quite easy to check and the parolee has way more insight as to what will happen if he fails to continue to walk the straight and narrow. The probabtioner on the other hand might have a glorified view of prision and might think it is a badge of honor to go and/or they might not think that 'it will really happen to them or that they are smarter than the system which is why they did not have to go to prison in the first place.

Answer 3

Generally parolees are more likely to have committed a bigger crime, and therefore are more likely to be serious criminals, making them harder to supervise in most ways, but often are more institutionalized and don't want to go back to prison for something minor like not reporting to their PO.

Often probationers are not even supervised (or rather they are court-supervised which generally means not much). Their crime tends to be lighter, so they are less likely to be hardened crooks. But they are not institutionalized, and so are more likely to flake on a meeting or fail to update their PO regarding contact info.

Answer 4

It skill he's on probation. customary generic probation. he ought to abide via all the probation words. He has been to penal complex, killed his huge style, it isn't parole, that is probation, az is notorious for putting people on probation, and diverse the inmates come out of penal complex on parole, at the same time as that ends, they then commence probation. in the journey that they decrease to rubble on parole, it skill again to penal complex, in the journey that they decrease to rubble on probation, the prospect of reinstatement is there or they then flow to penal complex for that could charge.

Answer 5

It will just always depend, many people on probation still don't take it serious, people on parole have been to prison and know the deal better.

But in general none of these people are church choir members and hard for any of them

Answer 6

Do they not supervise both, probation and parole
are not quite the same, it depends on the crime
involved, in the case of a parolee they fall they
go back to jail, in the case of probation they may
have committed a lesser crime, but can still be
jailed and brought to court and sent away to
jail, this time around..............................................
