Question 10 • Introduction to Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security

Parole is _____.

Answer
A
the early release of a prisoner due to good behavior
B
the release of a prisoner due to a reversed judgment
C
the evaluation process to determine a prison sentence
D
the extension of a prison sentence for bad behavior

Explanation

Parole is the supervised release of a prisoner before the full sentence has been served, often after the prisoner has shown good behavior and met eligibility requirements. It does not mean a court judgment was reversed, a sentence was determined, or a prison term was extended. Therefore, the correct choice is “the early release of a prisoner due to good behavior.”
