During FY03, there were 46,216 releases from
probation. The majority of these, more than 25,640,
were released having fulfilled the court orders
of probation. Some, about 17,000, were unable
to meet their obligations without the added structure
of a residential center. Once transferred to
a diversion center or detention center, these
offenders completed their probation sentences
successfully. A few, 170 probationers in total
for the year, violated probation by failing to
adhere to special conditions of probation such
as avoiding contact with the victim. About 3,400
of the nearly 126,000 offenders on probation
committed new crimes while under supervision.
These offenders were sent to prison.
