Gwent Probation


Been Sentenced?

This section is for people who have offended and their families and friends. It will try and answer any questions you may have and state what will be expected of you - or your relative or friend.

Orders

What punishments people must receive in the community for their offences. Probation supervision, unpaid work to benefit the community and drug treatment & testing.

Accredited programmes

Challenging courses people who continue to commit crimes must attend as part of their order. Works to change the way people think and act so they stop offending.

Tagging

What happens when people are on a curfew - 'tagged'. A way of restricting liberty - rather like 'house arrest'. Can give people a new sense of structure and discipline in their life.

Are you in prison?

How probation services will keep in touch with people while in prison. About people's supervision on release from prison.

Hostels

The rules people must obey when they have to stay in a probation and /or bail hostel. Daily routine in a hostel.

Need help?

Contact details of national advice & support services for people with problems which may be linked to their offending e.g. drug & alcohol misuse, debt, housing, domestic violence, health.

A community sentence, or a non-custodial sentence, means that people serve their punishment in the community e.g. not in prison.

If you are receiving any of the probation services listed here, then you will be under the direct supervision of the probation service in the community (except for 'tagging').
