Parole Boards
Parole boards are specialized panels in the criminal justice system that assess whether inmates can be released before completing their full prison sentences. They review the inmate’s behavior, rehabilitation efforts, and the nature of their crime. The board considers community safety and the individual's readiness to reintegrate into society. If granted parole, the inmate must follow specific conditions while living outside prison, such as regular check-ins and avoiding certain activities. The goal is to support rehabilitation while ensuring public safety. If conditions are violated, parole can be revoked, and the individual may return to prison.
