United States Probation and Pretrial Services

United States Probation and Pretrial Services are federal agencies that supervise individuals involved in the criminal justice system. Probation officers monitor offenders released into the community under court-ordered conditions instead of incarceration, ensuring compliance and supporting rehabilitation. Pretrial Services assess defendants before trial to determine their risk levels and recommend appropriate bail or release conditions. Both services aim to promote public safety, ensure fairness in the justice process, and support offender accountability while providing guidance to help individuals reintegrate responsibly into society.
