An offender may be granted parole after serving part of their incarceration sentence if found eligible by a parole board.
Typically, an offender must appear before the parole board at a hearing. If parole is granted, the person is released from jail or prison but must follow specific conditions, including being supervised by the prison authority.
If the person violates any of their parole conditions, they may have to return to jail or may be given additional conditions if it was a minor violation.
