The Pennsylvania Board of Probation & Parole does not fall under or answer to the Dept. of Corrections. The Parole Board answers to the state senate for funding purposes and is under the direct control of the Governor. Local probation offices answer to the President Judge of the county except for two counties in PA which do not have their own county Probation Departments. In those two counties the PA Board of Probation & Parole supervises the county probation or county parole cases.
How is the enforcement of criminal law a factor in determining who is subjected to probation and parole?
In theory, the possibility of parole or probation is an element of motivating rehabilitation.In reality there is no correlation between enforcement of law and the granting of probation or parole. In reality probation is largely granted as a means of moderating the court calendar, and parole is granted on almost an entirely arbitrary basis, but with some attention to prison/facility census.

What is the difference between probation and parole?
Probation is handed down by the judge at trial. It may be in lieu of jail time or in combination with some jail time. The judge will specify restrictions on the offender's activities during the probationary period. Parole is granted by a parole board, after the offender has served some -- or perhaps a lot of -- time. The parole board may consider factors such as the offender's behavior in prison and level of rehabilitation, and let him or her out early. The parole board can also specify restrictions on the person's activities while on parole.

They ARE similar, however; a 'parole' is a release from jail/prison after you have already completed a certain portion of your sentence behind bars. 'Probation" is a sentence unto itself - you are sentenced to probation without ever having to actually spend any time in jail/prison, based on your promise that you won't re-offend and that you will abide by the terms of the probation. To violate your probation (VOP) could subject you to being incarcerated for the unexpired remainder of your sentence.
