The americn criminal justice system (part 3)

If the accused pleads guilty or if he is found guilty at the trial, the judge will impose punishment. Depending upon the nature of the offence, the judge may fine or sentence the offender to prison. The judge may also suspend a jail sentence and place the offender on probation. If put on probation, the offender will remain out of jail but he must live a law-abiding life and report regularly to a probation officer.

If the offender is sentenced to prison he may obtain an early release by the state parole board. The conditions for parole are similar to those for probation.
