A new parole system aimed at rehabilitating prisoners and reducing repeat offending is being proposed under the Parole Bill, 2026.
The Parole Bill, 2026, seeks to introduce a parole system to permit the early release of prisoners during their period of incarceration, while promoting their rehabilitation and reintegration into society under structured supervision.
