A probation sentence is a punitive sentence given in place of jail time. It means the convict will live and work on the community during the entire sentence and have to report in frequently to a probation officer that he/she is assigned.
They are given different restrictions such as no drinking, administered urine tests, made to attend counseling in some cases, also they must hold down employment for the entire time. If they violate any of the terms of probation, they will be taken into custody and a hearing scheduled in front of a judge to determine the sanction. In some cases, probation can be revoked and the convict will do the remainder of his probation period in jail. In other cases, probation may be lengthened. It is determined by the judge based on whether its a technical violation or another crime committed.
Probation is a way of the system giving the convict a second chance and also keeping the jails less crowded.
