3. ““Whatever the ‘semantic content’ of the term ‘probation’ may once have been, it can no longer be argued convincingly that ‘probation’ necessarily involves an immediate release from incarceration. Through statutory amendment specifically to permit the imposition of incarceration as a condition of probation, case law interpretation of statutes which, like NRS 176.185 and 176.205, do not specifically enumerate a list of permissible conditions, and scholarly commentary, ‘probation’ has come to signify less a necessary and immediate release from custody that a carefully tailored program of rehabilitation, potentially involving a short term of incarceration, judicially fashioned to suit the needs and character of a particular convicted person.” (Énfasis suplido y escolios omi-tidos.)”
