adult probation

Criminal release monitoring

Adult probation is a court-supervised alternative to incarceration for criminal offenders eighteen and older.

The person remains in the community under specific conditions—regular check-ins with a probation officer, drug testing, employment requirements, or travel restrictions.

Violating these terms can result in imprisonment: He served two years of adult probation for the assault charge.
