Preferred term

discretionary release  

Definition

  • Discretionary release is the key feature of the indeterminate sentencing system. The indeterminate sentencing system allows individualized measures of incarceration for offenders sent to prison and gives parole boards discretion to determine when an offender is ready to be released, under supervision, back into the community. [Source: Encyclopedia of Community Corrections; Discretionary Release]
