What does PAROLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
legal
The conditional early release of a prisoner before the full sentence is served, usually with supervision and rules the person must follow.
A parole board reviews a prisoner's record and decides whether to grant parole, releasing the person under the watch of a parole officer and specific conditions such as regular check-ins or travel limits. Breaking those conditions can send the person back to prison to finish the original sentence, so parole works as a supervised second chance rather than a full pardon. The word can also serve as a verb, as when a board votes to parole an inmate after a hearing.
