Parole



Parole, system of releasing a convict from prison before the end of a sentence. Generally, parole is granted for good behavior in prison, if the parole board considers a prisoner psychologically and socially ready to readjust to the outside world. A parolee usually must observe certain standards of conduct, stay within certain areas, and report regularly to a parole officer.
