parolee

A parolee is a person who has been released from prison before completing their full sentence, under the condition that they follow specific rules and restrictions set by the parole board. Parole is a supervised period meant to help the individual reintegrate into society while ensuring they adhere to certain behaviors, such as regular check-ins with a parole officer, maintaining employment, or avoiding criminal activity. If they violate these conditions, they may be returned to prison. Essentially, a parolee is someone serving part of their sentence outside of incarceration under supervision.
