Probation originally began as a compassionate effort that would allow minor and first-time offenders to have a second chance. In the early days of probation, the released offenders were not only expected to follow the law, but to behave in a morally acceptable fashion as an example to others. Early probation officers provided leadership in morality issues such as adherence to religious practices, family attributes, employment and the productive use of free time. As a result of this, probationers were even given the opportunity to reduce their sentence by proving themselves worthy of consideration.
