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.

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.

What are probation and parole?
Probation and parole are very similar. They are both forms of supervision by the state or federal government, with standard and special conditions assigned to every defendant. A probation or parole officer is usually the same person who supervises both types of cases. There may be special types of probation and parole, which are handled by specially trained officers of those categories, such as for sex offenders and drug offenders. Probation is a sentence handed by the court, in which the offender is supervised by the state or federal government (either the state's Department of probation, Department of Corrections, or other similar agency, or the US probation department). If the offender violates any of the conditions of probation he can be arrested and returned to the court for hearing on such violation. The judge can then sentence the probationer to more probation, modify conditions of probation, community control (also known as house arrest), or incarceration. Probation can either follow incarceration or be given instead of incarceration (in the case of the former this is known as a split sentence). In states that have parole system (the federal government doesn't) parole may be granted to an inmate. Because parole is granted by the parole board of the Department of Corrections of that state, the offender is still considered inmate, and can be returned directly to prison without any jurisdiction of the courts if he violates the terms of his parole. The parole can range from a couple of years to the rest of what would be the offender's term of incarceration.
