Who is eligible for TAsC probation?
People with nonviolent criminal pasts may be eligible for TAsC probation.
Will they give probation?
This depends on several factors. 1. Law of the jurisdiction. Some offenses, in some places, are not eligible for probation. In some places, "sentencing guidelines," where offenders get points for various factors about the crime and about their past history, will make probation available, or not available. 2. Past record of the offender. A repeat offender is less likely to get probation. 3. Circumstances of the crime. The worse the circumstances, the less likely is probation. 4. Attitude of the offender. If the offender displays a bad attitude, the less likely is probation. 5. Wishes of the victim. In some cases, the judge will give weight to what the victim of a crime desires. 6. Attitude of the judge. The judge may be one who routinely issues probation, or rarely does. The judge will be the one to weigh the other facts and circumstances, and decide on whether probation is appropriate in this case.

How do you report someone who is in violation of probation?
The probation officer will investigate and see if there was, in fact, a violation. If he or she believes a violation did occur, then the offender can be arrested, so as to have a court hearing. This hearing usually takes place between the prosecuting attorney, the offender and his attorney, the probation officer, and the judge. After hearing all of the facts and arguments, it is then that a judge decides if the offender's probation will be revoked, and he or she will serve any remaining jail time that was originally suspended.
What happens in Tennessee if you violate probation?
The offender will be returned to close custody. In most states, this means return to prison where the offender will be reviewed by a parole violation board or committee, where it will be determined whether the offender will serve more of his sentence or be returned to supervised release.
What would happen if restitution has outstanding balance at end of probation period?
Probation could be extended, but provided there were no issues while the offender was on probation and made efforts to pay the balance, the remaining balance would likely be referred to collections.
What's the primary purpose of probation has always been?
The purpose of probation from a criminal punishment standpoint is that it allows the state to "keep an eye" on a defendant for a period of time. The person is allowed to remain free, but often must perform a series of tasks and must avoid further arrest.Added: From the defendant's standpoint, they are being allowed to remain free as a "bonus" (a 'gift' if you will) to see if they have learned from their mistake and can be rehabilitated while in society.Unfortunately there seems to be a common misconception that a sentence of probation means that you "got away with it" or that you are getting a "free bite at the apple." This is NOT true.Even though "free," you have been found GUILTY and this record will be included on your criminal history. If you fail to follow the provisions of your probation you COULD be sent directly to jail/prison by the sentencing judge if they rule that your actions while on probation are not in compliance with the provisions of the court ordered sentence.
Can you get a wavier from your probation officer if you are joining the military?
A much better question would be can you get a waiver from the military if you are on probation. In general, you are not eligible for enlistment if you are currently on probation. You need to discuss this with (a) the recruiter, and (b) your PO.
What are probation and parole?
Probation and parole are very similar. They are both forms of supervision by the state or federal government, with standard and special conditions assigned to every defendant. A probation or parole officer is usually the same person who supervises both types of cases. There may be special types of probation and parole, which are handled by specially trained officers of those categories, such as for sex offenders and drug offenders. Probation is a sentence handed by the court, in which the offender is supervised by the state or federal government (either the state's Department of probation, Department of Corrections, or other similar agency, or the US probation department). If the offender violates any of the conditions of probation he can be arrested and returned to the court for hearing on such violation. The judge can then sentence the probationer to more probation, modify conditions of probation, community control (also known as house arrest), or incarceration. Probation can either follow incarceration or be given instead of incarceration (in the case of the former this is known as a split sentence). In states that have parole system (the federal government doesn't) parole may be granted to an inmate. Because parole is granted by the parole board of the Department of Corrections of that state, the offender is still considered inmate, and can be returned directly to prison without any jurisdiction of the courts if he violates the terms of his parole. The parole can range from a couple of years to the rest of what would be the offender's term of incarceration.
What is the major reason that probationers account for most of all adults in the American corrections system?
If the offender has few or no priors and the crime is non-violent judges will often grant probation to allow the offender to remain in the community and report to a probation officer. Any problems the offender may have that could of contributed to the offense (drug abuse) can be treated in the community. Probation will be tried first before sending someone to prison. Once someone goes to prison for a period of one year or more they are never the same and are more likely to re-offend.
