United States Parole Commission

The United States Parole Commission is a federal agency that supervises certain inmates who are released from prison before completing their full sentences, known as parole or supervised release. Its role is to evaluate and make decisions about granting, denying, or revoking parole, and to monitor the behavior of released individuals to ensure community safety. The commission's work balances the goal of helping offenders reintegrate into society with protecting the public from potential risks. It operates under the Department of Justice and works closely with federal prisons and other criminal justice entities.
