sort of pain on the offender for violating the law. In the
legal sense, it is more individual redress or personal
revenge. Punishment therefore is defined as the redress
that the state takes against an offending member.

CONTEMPORARY FORMS OF PUNISHMENT

protecting the public and at the same time rehabilitating them by
requiring the latter to undergo institutional treatment program.
Parole – is defined as a procedure by which prisoners are
selected for release on the basis of individual response and
progress within the correctional institution and by which
they are provided with necessary controls and guidance as
they serve the remainder of their sentences within the free
community.
Probation- it is a procedure under which a defendant after
found guilty of a crime is released by the court without
imprisonment subject to the conditions imposed by the court
and subject to the supervision of a probation officer.
