Shock probation is a mixed sentencing alternative; incorporating features of both probation and parole. It was instituted to give judges an optional sentence for use primarily with young naive offenders. Shock probation is purported to give felons sufficient experience with prison to deter them from future crimes without risking 'prisonization' and its accompanying effects. The purpose of this study was to investigate characteristics of felons released under this statute, determine an accurate recidivism rate and ascertain the effects of a short period of incarceration.
