 When a Defendant has been convicted of an offense, the court can suspend all or some of the Defendant's sentence. If the court suspends it (meaning they do not go to jail and serve executed time), the Judge may place them on Probation. If placed on probation, the Defendant has conditions of that Probation that they must follow. If a person does not follow their rules of probation, a Petition to Revoke Probation may be filed and they will return to court for a hearing. If the Judge finds that the person violated their probation, they can be sentenced to serve their suspended time.                

 Probation is a county agency. Persons placed on probation typically receive suspended sentences and are ordered onto probation. Each county has standard conditions of probation and probationers are monitored by Probation Officers.

Parole is a division of the Indiana Department of Corrections. Persons placed on parole have received executed time and are placed on parole when they are released from prison. They are monitored by Parole Officers.
