parole board
Early freedom deciders
A parole board is a government body that decides whether prisoners may be released before completing their full sentences.
The board reviews cases, considers factors like behavior in prison and risk of reoffending, and may grant conditional release under supervision: He'll go before the parole board next month.
Decisions are often controversial, especially when released offenders commit new crimes.
