paroling

Granting supervised freedom

Paroling is the act of releasing a prisoner before the end of their sentence, typically under conditions of supervision and good behavior.

Prison boards handle paroling decisions: The state has been paroling fewer violent offenders in recent years.

The word also applies to releasing prisoners of war on their promise not to resume fighting.
