Conditional freedom, also known as PAROLE, is a form of release from prison granted by a PAROLE board or other authority before the completion of a sentence. It is usually granted to those who have demonstrated good behavior while in prison and is subject to certain conditions, such as regular reporting to a PAROLE officer and refraining from criminal activity. PAROLE is an important part of the criminal justice system, allowing for the rehabilitation of offenders and their reintegration into society.
