parolees
Early release prisoners
Parolees are people who have been released from prison before completing their full sentence, under conditions that allow authorities to monitor their behavior.
A parolee typically must meet regularly with a parole officer, maintain employment, and avoid certain activities or associations.
Violating these conditions can result in return to prison: The halfway house serves parolees transitioning back into society.
