day release
type: Concept
definition: Day release is the short and temporary release of offenders from prisons and jails, usually for a specific purpose. Although day release has been called by different names in different times and places, the underlying idea is that it is neither fair nor safe to release prisoners directly into society without close supervision—supervision greater than that provided by parole or probation.
