Illinois does not privatize their probation system and within the twenty-two judicial circuits Illinois has there are over one hundred thousand offenders serving their sentences of probation in the communities. There are multiple different specialized programs and with Illinois having the Probation and Probation Officer Act they can create a division and have to enforce all the probation rules across the state. The only pro for privatization is reducing administrative costs, everything else is just a huge scam to use and violate people that they want and can because of how backwards of a country this still is a because it is not on mainstream media then people just do not care. Cindy Rodriguez through Human Rights Watch stated, "On one visit when she did not have the money to make a payment, her probation officer told her that she would "violate" her and that she would go to jail, which is what happened. They took a mug shot of me, fingerprinted me, and treated me like I was garbage for about two and a half hours. Then [they] told me I could go home, they'd see me next time. That's what the police officer said, 'I'll see you next time. You'll violate again.' That's how they treat you." This is all because a fifty-three-year-old woman shoplifted and did not have the money for her monthly supervision fees.
