Answer:

a supervised period of time an offender serves when released from Incarceration

Step-by-step explanation:

Parole is a supervised release of convicts that are given the opportunity to serve the rest of their sentence outside of prison.

The prisoners complete their sentence in the community.

They have to report on a set schedule with their parole officer who tracks their progress in the community.

Their final release will be dependent the report sent by the parole officer.

A good integration into society will encourage their final release
