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 the entire 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 Times, The Mirror, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard, the Newsday and The Star Tribune.
