Parole is the conditional release of a prisoner before the completion of their sentence. It allows the individual to serve the remainder of their sentence under supervision in the community. The decision to grant parole is generally made by a parole board who evaluates the inmate's behavior, rehabilitation progress, and potential risk to society. Parole often comes with specific conditions that must be followed, such as regular check-ins with a parole officer. Failure to comply with these conditions can result in the individual being returned to prison.

Etymology

The term 'parole' comes from the French word 'parole' which means 'word' or 'speech'. In the legal sense, it originated in the 19th century, incorporating the concept of granting freedom based on a promise or word of honor. The idea reflects a shift towards more rehabilitative approaches in the penal system, emphasizing the importance of the individual's commitment to good behavior. Over time, 'parole' has maintained its dual meaning, both in legal and linguistic contexts, indicating its significance in discussions surrounding freedom, language use, and societal behavior.
