What is “Early Release” from Prison? An early release law is a state criminal law that allows a prisoner to be released before the end of their prison term. Early release from prison is sometimes known as parole. Parole is not granted automatically. Instead, a prisoner must apply for parole. Typically, a state parole board considers an individual’s request. The state parole board then decides whether early release is appropriate.
