Parole is when a person leaves prison early, before their full sentence is over, but they must follow rules and behave well, or they go back to prison. It is not the same as being free with no conditions — a person on parole is still watched by the law for a while. In everyday talk, you might also hear someone joke 'I'm out on parole,' half-serious, when they get a short break from a boring job or duty — but the real, serious meaning is about leaving prison early.
假釋
組成From French, where 'parole' just means 'word' or 'speech' — like giving your word that you will behave. The English legal meaning grew out of that old idea of a prisoner giving their word of honor.
