R.I. Gen. Laws (Title 12) § 12-19-15: Term of probation — Power to commit after termination of original sentence

Courts retain power to enforce sentences even after the original sentence period ends. Probation duration may differ from the sentence length, and probation time doesn't count toward the sentence, though courts may consider probationary conduct when enforcing penalties.
