The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections describes the conditions of supervision listed here as the “parole and probation conditions for all people under community supervision in the state of Louisiana.” Therefore, we interpreted these to be the standard conditions of probation, although there is subsequent text that states “When the court places a defendant on probation, it shall require the defendant to refrain from criminal conduct and to pay a supervision fee to defray the costs of probation supervision, and it may impose any specific conditions reasonably related to his rehabilitation, including any of the following.” The statute (CCRP 895) offers this same list of conditions, but clarifies that the court may impose any conditions included in this list or any additional conditions. ↩
Massachusetts ended its use of probation fees in 2020, but the state sent this court order (last revised in 2020) in response to our 2024 request for information regarding standard probation conditions. ↩
While this court order is from a district court, not the state judiciary, the Mississippi Department of Corrections shared this in response to our information request for documentation of statewide probation conditions. ↩
While the language in this statute does not clearly identify these as standard conditions of probation, the state judiciary pointed us to this statute in response to our request for information on standard conditions of probation in Nebraska. ↩
The relevant court order (State of North Dakota Courts: Conditions for Sentence to Probation, Form 9A) lists 26 possible conditions of probation. It appears that at sentencing, the conditions of probation are checked off when applicable. For this reason, we deferred to the list of the explicit conditions required in statute to identify the standard conditions. ↩
In Cleveland County, Oklahoma, we reviewed two court orders, signed on the same day by the same judge for felony offenses.
