Etymology
The term 'parole' originates from the French word 'parole,' meaning 'word' or 'speech.' This concept dates back to the military practice in the 19th century when a captured soldier was released on the condition of their word of honor to return to captivity if called upon. Over time, in a legal context, the term evolved to refer to the conditional release of prisoners. Parole systems began to be established in the 20th century, emphasizing rehabilitation and reintegration as vital aspects of the criminal justice process. The focus has shifted over the years to balance public safety with the recognition that many incarcerated individuals can rehabilitate and contribute positively to society if given support and supervision upon release.
