0 In the UK (and probably in the US too), if a prisoner can leave jail but has to report back at night, you wouldn't describe that as free on parole. That would be called an 01i 00open prison02i 00 instead. 02br 02br 00You can also say someone has been sentenced to X years 01i 00without parole02i 00, which means they will not be released before they have served their entire sentence.
