The SRA (Sentencing Reform Act) allows judges to sentence an offender to probation if they determine that the individual could benefit from training and treatment programs. Probation is a form of supervision that allows offenders to stay in the community under specific conditions, such as participating in rehabilitative programs or meeting regularly with a probation officer. This alternative to incarceration aims to provide an opportunity for offenders to address the underlying issues contributing to their criminal behavior and re-integrate successfully into society.
