What is parole?
Actually, it is a leave just like furlough, in which permission is granted to come out of jail for a specific reason. In the case of undertrial prisoners, parole is also available. This is a relaxation called custody parole and regular parole, in which prisoners have to give a specific reason for going out, such as death of a family member or due to medical reasons.
