Definición

  • Parole is the portion of state correctional systems in which convicted individuals are supervised after they have been released from prison. Parole serves two purposes: (1) to assist former prisoners in their transition from prison into the community and (2) to provide a means of early detection and sanction of potentially deviant behavior.
