parole

parole
The release of a prisoner of war upon condition, particularly that he will not, unless exchanged, engage in the armed forces against the country which had taken him prisoner, during the pendency of the war. The release of a convict from imprisonment upon certain conditions to be observed by him. Crooks v Sanders, 123 SC 28, 115 SE 760, 28 ALR 940. Parole is not an act of clemency, but a penological measure for the disciplinary treatment of prisoners who seem capable of rehabilitation outside of prison walls. It does not set aside or affect the sentence; the convict remains in the legal custody of the state and under the control of its agents, subject at any time, for breach of condition, to be returned to the penal institution. Re Anderson, 191 Or 49, 229 P2d 633, 230 P2d 770, 29 ALR2d 1051, 1073.
