Parole is defined as?

• A. Releasing from prison with conditions.
• B. A sentence served in prison with no conditions.
• C. A writ to challenge imprisonment.
• D. A medical procedure.

Answer: (A)

Parole is a conditional release from prison before the full sentence has been served, but under supervision and with specific conditions. After part of the sentence is served, a parole board may allow release, with the understanding that the person must follow rules (such as reporting to a parole officer, staying employed, avoiding further offenses, and not leaving the area without permission). If those conditions are violated, parole can be revoked and the person may be sent back to prison to finish serving the sentence. This differs from a sentence served entirely in prison, a writ to challenge imprisonment, or a medical procedure.
