Parole

Parole is a supervised release from prison that allows an inmate to serve the remainder of their sentence in the community under specific conditions. It is granted by a parole board after determining that the individual has shown rehabilitation potential and poses a low risk to society. While on parole, the individual must adhere to certain rules, such as regular check-ins with a parole officer, maintaining employment, and avoiding criminal activity. If they violate these conditions, they may be sent back to prison. Essentially, parole aims to balance public safety with the opportunity for reintegration into society.
