Day parole

Day Parole is a form of release under Canadian law that permits offenders to participate in community-based activities outside of the correctional facility in which they are being held, but requires them to return to the corrections facility, community-based facility or halfway house nightly. The Parole Board of Canada may waive this requirement, or choose to impose additional conditions. This is often done in preparation for statutory release or full parole.

In Canada, an offender who is serving a sentence of two years or longer is eligible to apply for day parole 6 months prior to eligibility for full parole, or after 6 months (whichever is greater). Those serving life sentences or indeterminate sentences are eligible to apply for day parole after 3 years, or 3 years before full parole eligibility (once again, whichever is greater).
