Probation is a necessary tool of today's judicial process.
Factors such as overcrowded jails and labor costs make probation a feasible alternative to physical incarceration. It is the probationer's responsibility to follow and comply with all the conditions of probation. It is a criminal offense to disobey an order of probation and is cause for being arrested and jailed, without bond, to await a probation revocation hearing with the court. During the revocation hearing the court will determine if a violation of probation has occurred and what punishment the probationer will receive. The punishment can range from a modification of the original probation order to incarceration for the remainder of the probated sentence.
