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.


What terms refers to a sentence where the offender serves a term of imprisonment followed by a term of probation?

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."


What happens if you are charged with injury to a child and are placed on shock probation and you commit a felony?

If you are charged with injury to a child and placed on shock probation, committing a felony could lead to serious legal consequences. Typically, such a violation may result in the revocation of your probation, meaning you could serve the remainder of your original sentence for the injury charge. Additionally, the new felony charge would lead to separate legal proceedings and potential penalties, which could include imprisonment or fines. It's crucial to consult with a legal professional to navigate these complex situations.


How long does shock incarceration last?
