Word of honour (6)

I believe the answer is:

parole

(Other definitions for parole that I've seen before include "Lop ear (anag.)" , "Promise of not escaping etc" , "Temporary release on promise of good behaviour" , "Release (a prisoner) on the promise of good conduct" , "Conditional release from prison" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
