7. HISTORY

John Augustus, the
"Father of Probation,"
is recognized as the
first true probation
officer. Augustus was
born in Woburn,
Massachusetts in
1785.
In 1841, John
Augustus attended
police court to bail out
a "common
drunkard," the first
8. 8
Augustus thus began an 18-year career as a
volunteer probation officer. Not all of the
offenders helped by Augustus were alcohol
abusers, nor were all prospective probationers
taken under his wing.
Augustus was subsequently credited with
founding the investigations process, one of
three main concepts of modern probation, the
other two being intake and supervision.
Augustus, who kept detailed notes on his
activities, was also the first to apply the term
"probation" to his method of treating
offenders.
9. 9
By 1858, John Augustus had provided bail for
1,946 men and women. Reportedly, only 10 of
this number forfeited their bond, a remarkable
accomplishment when measured against any
standard. His reformer's zeal and dogged
persistence won him the opposition of certain
segments of Boston society as well as the
devotion and aid of many Boston philanthropists
and organizations. The first probation statute,
enacted in Massachusetts shortly after this death
in 1859, was widely attributed to his efforts.
