Both juvenile and adult probationers may be ordered to pay restitution as a condition of probation.  Restitution includes court fees, fines, and costs for detention or commitment in a juvenile institution. Restitution is also paid to victims to cover costs such as property damage, replacement and medical treatment.

You may not be released from probation until you have paid all your restitution, even if you have met all other conditions of probation.
