What is Probation?
Probation is a criminal law institution that allows the execution of the person’s sentence in social life during the probation period determined by the legislator. Thanks to this institution, the person who commits a crime is observed in social life through probation. The law on probation is a law enacted with the aim of enabling the person to maintain ties with his/her social life and family and to adapt to the outside world. While the convicted person is serving his/her sentence in prison, he/she is released after a certain period of time before his/her conditional release and is kept under supervision in social life outside.

Probation can be imposed for many different reasons. For example, probation for drug use is a measure applied before the judgment is given about the person on trial. It is an institution that finds many such applications.
