PAROLE

BY: FAFA MO
PAROLE
Parole
• It refers to the conditional release of an offender from a
correctional institution after he serves the minimum term of
his prison sentence.
• May be given after the prisoner has served the minimum penalty
granted by the Board of Pardons and Parole under the
provisions of the Indeterminate Sentence Law
• Parole may have different meanings depending on the field and
judiciary system. All of the meanings originated from the French
parole ("voice", "spoken word").
• Following its use in late-resurrected Anglo-French chivalric
practice, the term became associated with the release of prisoners
based on prisoners giving their “Parole D’ Honeur” meaning
“Word of Honor” to abide by certain restrictions. (War Prisoner)
 Historical Background Parole
 PAROLE was originated from Europe
 The First Legislation in the United States authorizing parole was enacted in
Massachusetts in 1837.
 1837 FIRST PAROLE LAW WAS PASSED IN MASSACHUSETTS at the same
time Alexander Maconochie, in charge of the English Penal Colony in Northfolk
Island , Australia, introduce a system whereby a prisoner was given a “TICKET TO
LEAVE” (The equivalent of parole) after earning a required number of marks.
“MARK SYTEM”
 1856 - Parole was also featured in Irish Prison System based on the Indeterminate
sentence and Mark system by Walter Frederick Crofton using the Irish System.
 The first documented official use of early release from prison in the United States is
credited to Dr. Samuel G. Howe in Boston (1847) First man to use the word
“parole”.
Names to Remember in the History of
Parole
Alexander Maconochie
Became the governor /Supt of North folk Island , a penal colony in
the east of Australia.
Initiated the famous “ Mark System”. (Ticket to leave) that
became the blueprint of modern-day parole.
A system in which a prisoner is required to earn a number of
marks based on proper department, labor and study in order to
entitle him for a ticket for leave or conditional release which is
similar to parole.
FATHER OF MODERN PENOLOGY and FATHER OF PAROLE
Sir Walter Frederick Crofton (Ireland)
 He is the Director of the Irish Prison in-1854 who introduced the Irish
system that was modified from the Maconochie's mark system
 Under Crofton's system of prison administration, known as the Irish system,
prisoners progressed through three stages of confinement
1. During the first stage, the penal stage, prisoners were held in solitary cells
for approximately nine months
2. The second stage involved communal labor in public works prisons, chiefly in
outdoor labor
3. For the third stage, officials promoted prisoners in small numbers to
"intermediate" prisons (essentially a halfway house, where they could run
errands and attend church in the community) as a final test of their readiness
for Irish tickets of leave.
Remedied and perfected the failure and drawbacks in the mark system. He
introduced the Irish System and was appointed as Director of Irish Prison
System.
Zebulon Brockway
 Superintendent of Elmira Reformatory , compulsorily developed parole which
soon spread to other states in the New York USA used Indeterminate Sentence
compulsory which developed Parole and later spread to other part in USA.
 Elmira Reformatory is considered Forerunner Of Modern Penology because
it had all the elements of a modern system.
 Inmates were classified by three "grades", with newly arriving prisoners being
placed at second grade for their first six months.
 Those who became the most responsive and cooperative prisoners earned a first
grade, with the opportunity to earn additional privileges or "marks", including
earning a reduction of their sentences or being granted parole. Note that inmates
could also be demoted if failing in their duties. Those inmates who were less
responsive to rehabilitation or had behavioral problems were placed at third
grade.
