Abstract

Parole is a form of community supervision that works under the umbrella of criminal justice system to play its role in rehabilitation and community reintegration of offenders conditionally released as parolees. The study aimed to know association between parole supervision and rehabilitation of parolees in Lahore Division, Punjab, Pakistan. Sample of 56 parolees as respondents was selected through lottery sampling from Lahore Division. Results of study showed that association between parole supervision and rehabilitation of parolees was positive. Moreover, the study concluded that parole supervision was effective to rehabilitate and reintegrate parolees into society with satisfactory self-esteem. The prisoners who qualify the conditions of parole may be granted pre-release on parole as a chance of their rehabilitation and reintegration back into society as law abiding citizens. This would reduce prison overcrowding and provide a valuable human resource to the community as well.
