NON-INSTITUTIONAL CORRECTION
OVERVIEW
Criminal Justice System defined
Criminal Justice System (CJS) is the machinery used by the society
to prevent and control crime. It is the tool of a democratic
government to protect the people against criminality and other
peace and order problems.
In theory, Criminal Justice System is an integrated process
primarily concerned with apprehension, prosecution, trial,
adjudication, and correction of criminal offenders.

The Corrections Pillar
Correction is one branch of criminal justice concerned with the
custody, supervision, and rehabilitation of convicted offenders.
As a process, Correction refers to the reorientation or re-
instruction of the criminal offender in order to prevent him/her
from repeating his deviant or delinquent actions. In correcting
the deviant behavior of the offender, the process does not consider
the necessity of taking punitive actions.
APPROACHES TO CORRECTION
1.Institutional Corrections
Contemporary Corrections
Responsible for the reform and rehabilitation of offenders inside

2.Non-Institutional Corrections
Community-Based Corrections
Alternative ways of reforming and rehabilitating offenders outside
correctional facilities
Correctional activities that takes place in the community that
directly addressed to the offender and aimed at helping him to
become a law abiding citizen.
Non-Institutional Corrections
IC covers the following topics:
Historical perspective of the Development of Community-Based
Corrections;
The Probation;
Parole; and
Other forms of non-institutional reformation.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNITY-BASED CORRECTIONS
Not all convicted offenders have to serve their sentence behind
bars. Some are allowed to stay in the community, subject to
conditions imposed by the government. They are either granted
Probation, Parole, Conditional Pardon or Recognizance. Non-
institutional corrections refer to that method of correcting
sentenced offenders without having to go to prison. Advantages of
community-based corrections are:
Family members need not be victims also for the imprisonment of a
member because the convict can still continue to support his
family, not to be far away from his children;
Rehabilitation will be more effective as the convict will not be
exposed to hardened criminals in prisons who will only influence
him to a life of crime;
Rehabilitation can be monitored by the community, thus corrections
can be made and be more effective; and
Cost of incarceration will be eliminated which is extremely
beneficial especially to a cash-strapped government.
PROBATION
Probation came from the Latin verb “probare” – to prove, to test.
A term coined by John Augustus.
- By probation, a person convicted of a criminal offense is not
sent to prison by the sentencing court. Instead, he/she is released
and placed under the supervision of a probation officer subject to
the conditions which the court may impose.
Probation, in other words, is a disposition under which an accused,
after conviction and sentence, is released subject to conditions
imposed by the court and to the supervision of a probation officer.
Probation, also is a privilege granted by the court; it cannot be
availed of as a matter of right by a person convicted of a crime.
To be able to enjoy the benefits of probation, it must first be
shown that an applicant has no disqualifications imposed by law.

Probation was an OLD PRACTICE. It was the influence of the

following:
Benefit Of The Clergy
In the 13th Century, a compromise between the church and the king,
wherein any member of the clergy brought to trial in the king’s
court shall be claimed from the jurisdiction by the bishop or
chaplain representing him and placed under the authority of the
ecclesiastical court.
Judicial Reprieve
17th century – the practice of temporary suspension of the
execution of sentence by the judge either before or after judgment.
Early in the 17th C – with the establishment of settlements in
America, English courts began to grant reprieves to prisoners under
sentence of death on condition that they accept deportation
Recognizance
“binding over good behavior” The direct ancestor of probation -
involves the obligation or promise under oath that the accused
must “keep the peace” or “be of good behavior”. Sureties or bail
were usually required Usually applied to any felony not capital.
This led to the development of the first British Probation Service.
Transportation
Sending or putting away of an offender to another colony. It was
an attempt to substitute for brutal punishment at home and an
opportunity for rehabilitation in a new country.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF PROBATION
Matthew Davenport Hill: As a young professional in England, Hill
had witnessed the sentencing of youthful offenders to one-day terms
on the condition that they be returned to a parent or guardian who
would closely supervise them. When he eventually became the
Recorder of Birmingham, a judicial post, he used a similar practice
for individuals who did not seem hopelessly corrupt. If offenders
demonstrated a promise for rehabilitation, they were placed in the
hands of generous guardians who willingly took charge of them.
Hill had police officers pay periodic visits to these guardians in
an effort to track the offender's progress and keep a running
account.

John Augustus, the "Father of Probation," is recognized as the

first true probation officer.
In 1841, John Augustus attended police court to bail out a "common
drunkard," edward savage the first probationer. The offender was
ordered to appear in court three weeks later for sentencing. He
returned to court a sober man, accompanied by Augustus. To the
astonishment of all in attendance, his appearance and demeanor had
dramatically changed.

Augustus thus began an 18-year career as a volunteer probation

officer. Not all of the offenders helped by Augustus were alcohol
abusers, nor were all prospective probationers taken under his
wing. Close attention was paid to evaluating whether or not a
candidate would likely prove to be a successful subject for
probation. The offender's character, age, and the people, places,
and things apt to influence him or her were all considered.

Augustus was subsequently credited with founding the

investigations process, one of three main concepts of modern
probation, the other two being intake and supervision. Augustus,
who kept detailed notes on his activities, was also the first to
apply the term "probation" to his method of treating offenders.
By 1858, John Augustus had provided bail for 1,946 men and women.
Reportedly, only 10 of this number forfeited their bond, a
remarkable accomplishment when measured against any standard. His
reformer's zeal and dogged persistence won him the opposition of
certain segments of Boston society as well as the devotion and aid
of many Boston philanthropists and organizations. The first
probation
PROBATION IN THE PHILIPPINES
The adult probation as a reformation idea was twice attempted to
be implanted in the country’s justice system. First was in 1935
and second in 1972. On August 7, 1935, the Philippine Legislature
passed Act No. 4221. This Act created the Probation Office under
the Department of Justice. The Act also granted probation to first-
time offenders 18 years old above and convicted of certain crimes.
However, two years after its implementation, on November 16, 1937,
the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional because of its
constitutional and procedural defect. In 1972, House Bill No. 393
was filed in the Congress with the purpose of establishing a
probation system in the country. Its provisions removed the defects
of the previous law that made it constitutionally and procedurally
defective. Despite the Congress passing the bill, HB No. 393
gathered dust in the Senate of the Philippines upon declaration of
Martial Law.
In 1975, the late Assemblyman Teodulo C. Natividad introduced
another proposed probation decree. The proposed decree was
presented on April 24, 1976. The bill underwent eighteen (18)
technical hearings and submitted to a selected group of jurists,
penologists, civil leaders, social and behavioral scientists and
law practitioners before it was endorsed for approval.
Finally, on July 24, 1976, President Ferdinand E. Marcos signed
the proposed decree known as Presidential Decree No. 968 (PD 968)
or the “Adult Probation Law of 1976”. With its enactment, it
created the Probation Administration. The late Congressman Teodulo
C. Natividad recognized as the Father of Philippine Probation was
appointed its first Administrator. With PD 968, probation became
an added component of Philippine Corrections System and proved its
institutional worth. On November 23, 1989, with the passage of
Executive Order No. 292 or “The Administrative Code of 1987”, the
Probation Administration became PAROLE AND PROBATION
ADMINISTRATION (PPA).
