Premises:
The number of probation or parole clients assigned to one probation or parole officer for supervision

The general and special limits imposed on an offender who is released on parole (or probation)
The release of an inmate from prison to community supervision under a set of conditions for remaining on parole. If a condition is violated, the individual might be returned to prison or might face another sanction in the community.
An early-release option under which an inmate who is deemed “low risk” due to a serious physical or mental health condition is released from prison earlier than he or she might have been under normal circumstances
A sentencing option that makes use of “boot camp”–type prisons to impress on convicted offenders the realities of prison life
The administrative action of a paroling authority removing a person from parole status in response to a violation of lawfully required conditions of parole, including the prohibition against committing a new offense
The release of an inmate from prison that is determined by statute or sentencing guidelines and is not decided by a parole board or other authority
A court requirement that an accused or convicted offender pay money or provide services to the victim of the crime, or provide services to the community
A hearing held before a legally constituted hearing body (such as a parole board) to determine whether a parolee or probationer has violated the conditions and requirements of his or her parole or probation
