Tuesday, May 10, 2022, 1:00 pm
There are 4.5 million people on probation or parole in the United States. Despite the significant number of individuals on community supervision, some aspects of parole and probation remain a mystery to many people. This panel will provide a fundamental introduction to parole and probation, as well as the differences between the two forms of community supervision. It will also look at how community supervision and prosecution intersect and examine the impact of prolonged periods of supervision. Finally, this discussion will present suggestions on how prosecutors can change office policies to result in equitable community supervision.
