Preferred term

probation and judicial reprieve  

Definition

  • Contemporary probation practice developed from earlier models, such as judicial reprieve. Looking for alternatives to required severe sentences, courts in the 19th century found ways to give certain offenders a second chance, which began a long period of individualized, offender-based correctional practice.
