Section 1 Parole

Parole can be granted to inmates sentenced to imprisonment with or without work who evince the sign of substantial reformation and are expected to be reformed and rehabilitated. The inmates granted parole are provisionally released and placed under probation during the period of remaining sentence. Parole aims to prevent reoffending and facilitate their reformation and rehabilitation and smooth reintegration into society.

To be recognized as evincing the sign of substantial reformation, inmates shall be deemed to have a sense of remorse for the offense they committed and be willing to reform and rehabilitate themselves, without any likelihood of repeating an offense, thus making it reasonable to place them under parole supervision for their own reformation and rehabilitation. However, if it is deemed that the general sentiment of society does not approve such decision, the parole will not be granted. It is necessary that they have served one third of a definite imprisonment term or 10 years for life imprisonment.
