conditional release

Probationary release program

Conditional release is freedom from custody that depends on meeting specific requirements.

A prisoner may receive conditional release before completing a full sentence, remaining free only while following rules like regular check-ins, staying employed, or avoiding certain people and places.

Parole is the most common form.

Violating conditions means returning to confinement.
