On Parole

Being on parole means a person who was convicted of a crime has been released from prison before serving their full sentence. They must follow specific rules set by the parole board, such as regularly checking in with officers, avoiding further crimes, and sometimes staying within certain areas. Parole is intended to help individuals reintegrate into society responsibly while maintaining oversight for public safety. If they violate parole conditions, they can be sent back to prison to finish their sentence.
