Probation Sentencing in New Jersey: N.J.S.A. 2C:45-1 – 2C:45-4

N.J.S.A. 2C:45-1 through 2C:45-4 address probation.

A defendant convicted of any offense may be placed on probation for a period of not less than 1 year or more than 5 years (even if the probationary term exceeds the statutory maximum sentence for that offense).

Conditions of Probation

When the court sentences a defendant to probation, it can attach reasonable conditions as it deems necessary to ensure that the defendant will lead a law-abiding life or assist him/her in doing so. For example, the court can require, as a condition of probation that the defendant:

Support his/her dependants and meet his/her family responsibilities;
Pay fines and/or restitution;
Maintain gainful employment;
Undergo medical or psychiatric treatment; and/or
Perform community service.

During the period of probation, the court can modify or add conditions as it deems necessary. The court can also extend the period of probation.

County Jail Term as a Condition of Probation

The court can require a defendant to serve up to 364 days in the county jail as a condition of probation. This does not violate the presumption of non-incarceration.
