Probation is a conditional suspension of an imposed sentence. Probation is subject to supervision from a probation officer and the probationer must follow probation conditions. It is a substitute for a prison term, which is contingent upon good behavior. Probation can include jail time, treatment, restitution and/or other special terms and conditions. All probation departments in the state are under their county. Parole or Community Supervision is the release from prison after serving the imposed sentence. It is a conditional release from prison granted by the Board of Executive Clemency. The offender will be under the supervision of a parole officer. Parole can be revoked if the offender fails to observe the conditions of his parole order. Parole is a state agency. Their telephone number for Southeast Arizona is (520) 432-2134.
