5 Criminal Justice System, Probation and Parole · 5.2 Probation and parole
5.2.4 Parole, furlough, remission and premature release
Parole and furlough let a convict out of prison for a while under conditions, remission shortens the time he must serve, and premature release (decided by the government on a Sentence Review Board's advice) lets him out for good before the full term; all are executive measures that reward good conduct and help reintegration, not rights a court gives.
