Conditional release (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parole

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">conditional release</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for parole that I've seen before include "Give Al rope when he's released early" , "limited release" , "Early release on promise of good behaviour" , "Promise (that prisoner is released on)" , "Release of prisoner promising good behaviour" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the Evening Standard, The Times, The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday and The Star Tribune.
