Probation is defined as?

• A. Parole
• B. Probation
• C. Writ of Habeas corpus
• D. Body cavity search

Answer: (B)

Probation is a court-imposed sentence that lets a convicted person stay in the community under supervision instead of serving time in jail. While on probation, there are conditions to follow—like reporting regularly, avoiding illegal drugs, working or attending school, and staying out of trouble. If these rules are violated or a new crime is committed, probation can be revoked and imprisonment may be required. Parole, in contrast, is early release from prison after serving part of a sentence, with supervision. A writ of habeas corpus is a legal action challenging unlawful detention, and a body cavity search is unrelated to sentencing.
