How Does the Parole System Work?
The parole system allows for the early release of some prisoners under controlled conditions. The rules of eligibility for parole vary depending on the crime and the jurisdiction, and those seeking parole might make their case for early release to a parole board or committee. After being approved for parole, the parolee is released from prison but must demonstrate that all conditions of parole are met through regular contact with a parole officer.
