    Parole is the early release of a prisoner after serving the minimum sentence for an indeterminate crime. The Board of Pardons and Parole, under the Department of Justice, has authority to grant parole when a prisoner has served the minimum sentence and is deemed ready for release. If a parolee violates conditions of release, they will be returned to prison. Executive clemency includes commutation of sentence, conditional pardon, and absolute pardon granted by the President on recommendation of the Board and allows further reduction of sentences. Prisoners must meet minimum time served requirements to be eligible to apply.
