parolee
Freed but supervised
A parolee is a prisoner who has been released before completing their full sentence, subject to conditions and supervision.
Parolees typically must report to a parole officer, maintain employment, and avoid criminal activity.
Violating parole terms can result in reincarceration: The parolee was arrested after failing a drug test.
