Probation has been an issue for years most people who are on probation don't have a license to drive but are forced to be there in other states probation officers come to the home for visits . Also probation can become a problem when you do find employment that you would have to leave during your shift in which can cause a person to lose their jobs there are no offices open over the weekend or late after hours for some who may work second or third shifts . Drug testing should only be done if you have been charged with a crime of drugs . Violations from other counties if you have probation in more then one county it should all be put on one not having multiple counties involved if you violate every county is notified and you are charged by all that it self is double jeopardy.

There are MANY injustices in the criminal justice system. Most of the cards are in the prosecution's hands. As someone unjustly prosecuted and whose conviction was secured by impermissible deceit, I know that reducing time under probation's thumb is the first real step toward getting on with one's life. This is an excellent start, and Del Wren Williams is to be commended for understanding that there should be more discretion in reducing probation, and the outsized control of the DOC and probation officers.
