Parole conditionally released from jail; pledge or promise made by a prisoner that he will obey the terms of his

release. the term became associated with the release of prisoners based on prisoners giving their word of honor to abide by certain restrictions. Parole should not be confused with probation, as parole is serving the remainder of a sentence outside of prison, where probation is given instead of a prison sentence and as such, tends to place more rigid obligations upon the individual serving the term. Example release a criminal from detention and place him on parole; "The prisoner was paroled after serving 10 years in prison" or a conditional release from imprisonment that entitles the person to serve the remainder of the sentence outside the prison as long as the terms of release are complied with Parole is a legal sanction that lets a prisoner leave the prison for a short duration, on the condition that s/he behaves appropriately after release and reports back to the prison on termination of the parole period. Definition of parole: Paroles are ways in which criminals are supervised in order to determine whether they are likely to commit the same crime or any other crime during this time period, if they do commit a crime during this period then they are sent back to prison to serve a jail term, both probations and paroles are set to determine the rehabilitation level of a convict and whether the convict is fully rehabilitated and whether he or she can live with the society without committing crimes. Parole is a privilege where one is eligible to parole if the prisoner receives a minimum and maximum sentence and after serving the minimum sentence the parole board may decide to put him or her under parole after a consideration hearing, this is in contrast with probation where its determined by the judge. The roles of paroles were therefore to reduce prison term based on good behavior, to supervise the convict after being granted parole and grant freedom to those with uncertain sentences and therefore reduce indeterminate sentences and the major concepts underlying the parole process include the reduction of jail term after good and responsible behavior in prison, supervision of parolees and finally reduce indeterminate sentences. Paroles are granted to convicts by the parole board, when the parole board feels that a certain individual who has served his minimum term is responsible and can join the community under supervision; on the other hand probations are imposed by the judge as part of the sentence.
