Description:  Probation is usually considered a rehabilitation form of punishment, in which people are released from prison early or allowed not to go to prison.

One of the benefits of probation is that criminals are not incarcerated. 2. It usually requires gainful employment which helps people financially. 3. Some people are required to pass drug and alcohol tests, which can help them to get sober.
