Answer:

The corrections that are alternatives between probation and a prison sentence are a suspended sentence, probation, fines, restitution, community service, and deferred adjudication/pretrial diversion.

Step-by-step explanation:

To end the overuse of incarceration, judges currently punish law offenders by applying these alternative correctional measures. Other purposes are to decrease prison congestions, discourage persons who prefer prison accommodations with free medical treatments and other allowances and protections offered in the prison system, and to reduce the cost burden for prison maintenance.
