define shock probation and discuss it
Shock probation is governed by federal and state laws, which vary by jurisdiction. Shock probation allows defendants an opportunity to receive probation after a short period of time in a correctional facility. [ The theory underlying shock probation is that immersing a defendant in the penal system for a short period of time could 'shock' him or her into a noncriminal lifestyle. ]
