What Is The Difference Between Probation & Parole?
Answer
If a judge releases you on a probationary period (rather than assigning any jail/prison time) you will be enabled to live your normal life with minor stipulations and conditions. Parole occurs after serving time in prison due to a conviction. If you maintain good behavior during your prison sentence, you can petition for parole or early release. If you violate parole, you will return to prison to finish your sentence, or you will get a new sentence.
