early release
Freedom before scheduled
Early release is getting out before the expected or scheduled time.
A prisoner granted early release leaves before completing the full sentence, typically for good behavior or parole: He was granted early release after serving half his term.
The phrase also applies to products, films, or information made available ahead of the official date: The album got an early release in Japan.
