Parole reports

The following information relates to offenders over the age of 16.  For Youth offending, please see Youth offending - general information

 

Parole means that you may be released under specific conditions from prison to serve part of your sentence under supervision in the community.  If you are detained in prison or a young offenders' institution serving a sentence of 4 years or more, you are entitled to be considered for Parole after serving half the sentence.

You can decline to be considered for Parole.

If Parole is granted, your supervising social worker will explain the conditions that apply to you.  You will be asked to give your consent and sign a copy of the licence at your first appointment with your supervising officer.
