Exploring Supervision Fees in Four Probation Jurisdictions in Texas
by Robina Institute of Criminal Law and Criminal Justice
Findings from interviews and focus groups with probation officers about topics such as how fees are used, time spent collecting fees, and the role fees play in sanctions and revocations, and with people on probation about the amount they owe in fees, how they get money to pay fees, how fees affect their experience of probation and their overall life, and their views on fees, among other topics.
