"Adjudicated" is a word that means 'the decision of the court,' and it means that the defendant was sentenced to some kind of sentence that did not have to be served behind bars. Perhaps community service or some type of loose probation.
A deferred adjudicated felony is where the court "puts off" a finding of guilt. Most often during a deferred adjudication, the person is put on community supervision. If the term is completed without revocation of probation it will remain a deferred adjudicated and not a conviction. It is important to realize that deferred is not a conviction. There was never a finding of guilt by the court.
The correctional alternative that permits offenders to serve their sentence under supervision in the community os called probation.

All states have both. Probation is a term of supervision in the community that is sentenced by a Court. Parole is a term of supervision in the community following release from prison, usually for the remainder of a person's original sentence.
Yes, a significant majority of convicted offenders are on some form of community supervision, such as probation or parole. This approach allows individuals to serve their sentences while remaining in the community under specific conditions, rather than being incarcerated. Community supervision aims to reduce recidivism and assist offenders in reintegrating into society. Statistics often show that a larger portion of the correctional population is supervised in the community compared to those in prison or jail.
Prison as opposed to community supervision (such as probation, community control, etc.)
When something is non adjudicated it means it has not been legally decided. It is not binding, because it is not legally done.
You don't get to affirm your own community service hours. Community serivce, in my experience is ALWAYS done under the supervision of some individual, or some organization, who then confirms to the court, via sworn paperwork, that you performed the required community service hours under their supervision.
