PUNISHMENT
Release on Parole
Article 44
(1) A convicted person who has served one half of his sentence, and as an exception, a convicted person who has served one third of his sentence, may be released from serving the punishment of imprisonment under condition that he does not perpetrate another criminal offence before expiration of the time of the sentence (parole, conditional release).
(2) A convicted person who has served one-half of his sentence, may be released from serving the punishment of imprisonment if in the course of serving his sentence he has improved to the point where he can reasonably be expected to behave himself well after his release from serving the punishment of imprisonment, and particularly not perpetrate criminal offences. In determining whether to release a convicted person on parole, account shall be taken of his conduct during the term of the sentence, as well as other circumstances indicating that the purpose of the punishment has been attained.
(3) A convicted person who has served one third of his sentence may be released on parole, provided that the conditions referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article exist, and provided that special circumstances relating to the personality of the convicted person manifestly indicate that the purpose of the punishment has been attained.
(4) The person punished by long-term imprisonment may be granted conditional release after three-fifths of the punishment have been served.
