Provisional release is a term used to describe the release of an individual from prison or jail before their full sentence has been served. This can be done through PAROLE (6 letters) or PROBATION (9 letters). PAROLE is a form of supervised release in which an individual is released from prison before their full sentence has been served, but must adhere to certain conditions set by the court. PROBATION is a form of supervised release in which an individual is released from prison or jail without having to serve their full sentence, but must adhere to certain conditions set by the court.
