After the reform of the criminal executive system in Ukraine, minor criminals may be going home without handcuffs from the courthouse, as in American TV series. For this purpose, a new system of probation is created: the one that allows a convicted prisoner to avoid prison, but not a punishment for a crime.

The same results are expected in Ukraine.
