Conditions of probation are dictated by the court at the time of sentencing. The probation department simply confirms that the offender complies with the court-set conditions. Generally, courts tend to impose a certain set of general conditions on all offenders, then craft additional special conditions which seem appropriate to the case. For example, a sex offender could expect a condition prohibiting him from going to playgrounds while a DWI offender could expect a condition prohibiting him from operating a vehicle. The general conditions, in general, tend to look something like this: 1. Answer all reasonable inquiries by the P.O. and notify the P.O. prior to any change in address or employment. 2. Remain within the jurisdiction of the court unless given permission to leave by the court or P.O.. 3. Report to the P.O. as directed by the court or P.O. and permit the P.O. to visit you at your place of abode or elsewhere. 4. Refrain from violating any law, notify the P.O. if arrested or questioned by any law enforcement officer. 5. Work faithfully at suitable employment or pursue a course of study or vocational training. 6. Serve jail, pay fines or restitution, and/or complete any community service ordered by the court at sentencing together with probation. 7. Obey the directions given by the P.O. to insure compliance with the conditions. Other extremely common conditions include: 1. Refrain from frequenting unlawful or disreputable places or consorting with disreputable persons. 2. Participate in evaluation and therapy (e.g. drug or mental health treatment) as directed by the P.O. 3. Stay away from gatherings or establishments where alcohol is served. 4. Agree to P.O. access to medical/psychological service and treatment records. 5. Agree to submit employment and school records to the P.O. 6. Abstain from the use or possession of controlled substances, or other illegal drugs, including unauthorized medication and drug paraphernalia and submit to appropriate drug testing. 7. Abstain from the use or possession of beverages that have any alcohol content and submit to appropriate alcohol testing. 8. Sign appropriate release of information as required by the P.O. Again, your specific conditions will vary by state, county, courtroom and judge. The judge will read the conditions to you when you're sentenced. You will sign an agreement and be given a copy of the conditions. Then the P.O. will review the conditions with you at your first visit and explain his interpretation of them.

Conditions are an inherent part of probation. Judges set conditions in order to meet the goals for probation stated above. A probationer must comply with these conditions or else the court may impose a prison sentence or add more restrictive conditions to their probation. Courts usually have a great deal of discretion when setting probation conditions, but that doesn't mean that judges can set whatever terms they want. Probation conditions must be reasonable. This means that the conditions cannot be vindictive, vague, overbroad or arbitrary. In addition, the conditions must be related to the protection of the public. Also, if a judge wishes to impose special conditions, those conditions must relate to the nature of the crime that the probationer committed. Judges set the conditions, but probation officers enforce them. So if one of the conditions set by the judge was drug and alcohol treatment, yes you can be required to attend that treatment in lieu of a job or attending school. Remember if you are in jail you would neither be working nor going to school until you got out. You will have to schedule your other activities around the terms and conditions of your probation.
