Alternative Sentencing in Arizona<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A criminal conviction doesn\u2019t always result in jail or prison time for a defendant. In some instances, the judge may find that an offender would be better served by alternative forms of sentencing that allow for rehabilitation rather than incarceration. Alternative sentencing can include community service, probation, house arrest, treatment programs, and fines and\/or restitution.<\/p>\n

Community Service<\/strong> \u2013 Community service requires the defendant to complete a specific number of hours of work in the community. This service is recorded by an official figure, such as the service program leader, and then reported to the judge.<\/p>\n

Probation<\/strong> \u2013 Probation allows the defendant to serve their sentence in public, following strict rules as set by the judge. Offenders of minor crimes may be sentenced to unsupervised probation, meaning they do not need to be overseen by a probation officer. Supervised probation requires the defendant to regularly check in with a probation officer. Intensive probation is probation that takes place under highly strict community supervision. Probation can also incorporate other types of alternative sentencing, such as electronic monitoring, community service, and fines.<\/p>\n

House Arrest<\/strong> \u2013 House arrest typically finds the offender remaining in their residence or the home of a responsible family member where they are electronically monitored, such as with an ankle monitor. House arrest restricts the range and behavior of the offender.<\/p>\n

Treatment Programs<\/strong> \u2013 A defendant may be court-ordered to attend certain rehabilitative programs to help address underlying causes of their offense. These may be inpatient or outpatient and can include anger management classes, mental health\/psychiatric counseling or treatment, and substance abuse treatment programs.<\/p>\n

Fines\/Restitution<\/strong> \u2013 Fines are monies paid to the government as punishment for a crime, while restitution is money paid to the victim for any monetary damages they suffered as a result of the crime.<\/p>\n

Alternative sentencing violations are taken seriously. Penalties can include extending the sentencing terms (such as lengthening the length of probation or adding on additional community service hours) or being sent to jail.<\/p>\n
