In criminal justice systems, parole is the supervised release of a prisoner before the completion of their sentence. This differs from amnesty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnesty) or commutation of sentence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutation_of_sentence) in that parolees are still considered to be serving their sentences, and may be returned to prison if they show poor adjustment to society.
The exact nature of parole varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States), courts may specify in a sentence how much time must be served before a prisoner is eligible for parole. This is often done by specifying an indeterminate sentence of, say, "15 to 25 years," or "15 years to life." The latter type is known as an indeterminate life sentence; in contrast, a sentence of "life without the possibility of parole" is known as a determinate life sentence.
In most states, mere good conduct while incarcerated in and of itself does not necessarily guarantee that an inmate will be paroled; other factors may enter into the decision to grant or deny parole, most commonly the establishment of a permanent residence and immediate, gainful employment or some other clearly visible means of self-support upon release (such as Social Security (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_%28United_States%29) if the prisoner is old enough to qualify). Many states now permit sentences of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole (such as for murder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder)), and any prisoner not sentenced to either this or the death penalty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_penalty) will eventually have the right to petition for release (one state – Alaska (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska) – maintains neither the death penalty nor life imprisonment without parole as sentencing options).
Before being granted the privilege of parole, the inmate must first agree to abide by the conditions of parole set by his parole authority. These conditions usually require the parolee to meet regularly with his or her parole officer or community corrections agent, who assesses the behavior and adjustment of the parolee and determines whether the parolee is violating any of his or her terms of release (typically these include being at home during certain hours, maintaining steady employment, not absconding, refraining from illicit drug use and sometimes, abstaining from alcohol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol)). In some cases, a parolee may be discharged from parole before the time called for in the original sentence if it is determined that the parole restrictions are no longer necessary for the protection of society (this most frequently occurs when elderly parolees are involved).

A variant of parole is known as "time off for good behavior," or, colloquially, "good time." Unlike the traditional form of parole – which may be granted or denied at the discretion of a parole board – time off for good behavior is automatic absent a certain number (or gravity) of infractions committed by a convict while incarcerated (in most jurisdictions the released inmate is placed under the supervision of a parole officer for a certain amount of time after being so released). In some cases "good time" can reduce the maximum sentence by as much as one-third; it is usually not made available to inmates serving life sentences, as there is no release date that can be moved up.

Here are some types of probation conditions:

Standard Conditions: Conditions imposed on all offenders in all jusrisdictions.

Special Conditions: Conditions tailored to fit the needs of an offender.

Clear Conditions: Conditions that are sufficiently explicit do as to inform a reasonable person of the conduct that is required or prohibited.

Reasonable Conditions: Probation conditions that can be reasonably complied with by the offender.
