If you’ve been convicted of a crime in the state of Florida, you may be facing probation at some point in your future. While there are some similarities between probation and parole, very few people are eligible for parole.
❓How Does Parole Work in Florida?
Parole is a release from prison, but Florida has effectively phased it out of use. In order to qualify for parole in Florida, you must be an inmate who is serving time for:
👉Any felony committed before 1983
👉A capital felony committed before 1995
❓What Does Probation Entail In Florida?
If you are convicted of a crime, you may be sentenced to probation in lieu of jail or prison time. Furthermore, if you’re released from jail or prison ahead of your originally scheduled release date, you can be placed on probation. The courts order probation, and it comes with conditions that you must adhere to.
