Incarceration covers the prison term and community corrections or probation covers the other term. The usual wording is something like: " The defendant is remanded to the custody of the state department of corrections for a period of incarceration not to exceed 5 years and upon release is to serve 2 years of probation."

∙ 6y agoThere may be a number of terms to describe it; however, it sounds like you're referring to "Shock Probation".
In Shock Probation, a defendant is sentenced to do a short period of time in jail/prison. This prison-time is intended to "scare" (or shock) the defendant out of committing crimes in the future. Then, after a specified amount of time in jail/prison, the defendant will serve the remainder of their sentence on probation.
Shock Probation is generally used on young offenders who have not have not served any prison time in the past.

The job of the police is to bring offenders to court, not to punish them. It is the job of the court to determine guilt and, if guilt is proved, to sentence the offender to punishment. In deciding the sentence, the court will look at past offences and in the case of a persistent offender the sentence will be more severe. In some countries (eg the US) if an offender commits 3 offences the sentence can be life imprisonment.

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.
