True false when using shock probation the judge sentences an offender to a prison term and then suspends the sentence before the offender actually starts to serve the sentence in a jail or prison?
I have never heard of the term "shock" probation. But other than that, you have accurately described all probation sentences, except for the fact that nothing is "suspended." You are simply out in the general population (at the pleasure of the court) and as long as you obey a few simple rules you will be okay. HOWEVER - never forget that behind that probation lies the sentence itself, for which you could be remanded to jail to serve if, at any time, you violate your probation restrictuons and obligations.
What terms refers to a sentence where the offender serves a term of imprisonment followed by a term of probation?
