This example is given by the Cambridge dictionaries online:
He served a year in prison and was then let out on probation.
It means the probation is finished here?
So, on probation can mean
1) during probation
2) probation completed?
Thanks
No, it only means he's undergoing 'probation'.
'Let out' just means released from prison.
