Difference of Probation from Imprisonment and Parole: 1. Probation is an alternative to imprisonment. Instead of being confined in prison, the probationer is released to the community by the court with conditions to follow and is placed under the supervision of PO. 2. Parole is a conditional release of a prisoner whereby he is placed under the supervision of a Parole Officer after serving his minimum sentence. 3. Probation is a community-based approach to reformation of offenders, while imprisonment adopts the institutionalized approach. 4. Probation is handled by the Probation Administration while parole is administered by the Parole Board 5. Probation is enjoyed only once while parole may be granted more than once, depending on good behavior during imprisonment. 6. Probation is more beneficent because it restores full civil rights to the probationer upon termination unlike parole. 7. Probation is essentially a judicial function (under the control of the court) while parole is an executive function (under the Parole Board).
