Best Answer

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.
