KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Parole
Parole, also known as release on licence, is the conditional release of a prisoner before the full sentence has been served.
Under the Criminal Justice Act 2003, many prisoners sentenced to more than 12 months’ imprisonment are released after serving half their sentence.
Conditions attached to parole are determined by the Secretary of State with advice from probation authorities.
A prisoner who breaches parole conditions or commits another offence may be returned to prison.
Parole continues until the expiry of the original sentence period.
