Explanation: Probation is a period of supervision over an offender, ordered by the court instead of serving time in prison, sometimes may even be suspended sentences. Recidivism is the tendency of a convicted criminal to commit subsequent offences.

The recidivism rates for those on probation are relatively high. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics 43 percent of the felony probationers will be rearrested within three years after beginning community supervision.

Such high recidivism rates have been argued by some to represent a failure of the prison system in achieving its supposed goals of deterrence and rehabilitation.
