(37) 
Answered by Examlex AI CopilotProbation and parole are both forms of supervised release for individuals who have been convicted of a crime, but there are some key differences between the two.
Probation is typically given as an alternative to incarceration, allowing individuals to serve their sentence in the community under the supervision of a probation officer. It is often given to first-time or non-violent offenders and may include requirements such as regular check-ins, drug testing, and community service. The primary function of probation is to provide rehabilitation and support to help individuals reintegrate into society and avoid further criminal behavior.
Parole, on the other hand, is a form of early release from prison, allowing individuals to serve the remainder of their sentence in the community under supervision. It is typically granted to individuals who have already served a portion of their sentence in prison and have demonstrated good behavior. The primary function of parole is to provide a gradual reintegration into society and to monitor and support individuals as they transition back into the community.
The most important function of probation is to provide support and rehabilitation to help individuals avoid further criminal behavior, while the most important function of parole is to monitor and support individuals as they transition back into the community after serving time in prison. Both probation and parole aim to reduce recidivism and promote successful reintegration into society.

The case of Robert "Mudman" Simon exemplifies why many favor abolishing parole. Simon was the leader of the infamous Warlocks motorcycle gang. Simon was convicted of the second-degree murder of his girlfriend in 1982. Evidence presented indicated that he wanted his girlfriend to submit to having sex with other members of his motorcycle gang. When she refused, he pulled a gun and shot her in the head. He received a 10−20 year sentence to be served in Grateford Prison, a maximum-security facility in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole granted his release in 1995. As part of the condition of his release, he was ordered to have no contact with the Warlocks. However, once he was released he moved to Williamstown, New Jersey, an area known for motorcycle gang activity. On May 6, 1995, Franklin Township police Sergeant Ippolito "Lee" Gonzalez pulled Simon and an associate over for a minor traffic violation. Simon shot Gonzalez twice in the head and once in the neck. Gonzalez died at the scene. Simon was quickly apprehended, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to death.
