When someone is convicted of crime in Illinois, they are much more likely to be sentenced to probation than to prison. Illinois, along with many other states, increasingly prefers to keep convicted criminals out of prison, so they can keep working and supporting their families, in addition to participating in educational and rehabilitation programs. Most of us struggle just to keep up with the demands of daily life, like holding down decent job, caring for family, juggling transportation, and paying the household bills. When you are accused of probation violation, it can seem like the precariously balanced building blocks of your life are tumbling down around you.
