In Illinois "410 Probation" is typically used for first offenders caught with small amounts of drugs for personal use and is ordinarily an opportunity to avoid jail and becoming a convicted felon.
Essentially you'd admit guilt, the judge will put on record that he is entering a finding of guilty, but will not enter a conviction. You would be placed on very strict probation. If you comply and are clean (usually for about 2 years) the charge you pled guilty to is completely dismissed.
