Conditional Release decisions are the responsibility of which body?

Conditional Release decisions are the responsibility of which body?

• A. Warden
• B. Parole Board
• C. Commissioner
• D. A & B

Answer: (B)

Conditional release decisions are made by the Parole Board of Canada. This independent tribunal reviews inmates, assesses risk, and sets the terms under which someone may be released before serving their full sentence. The Warden runs the prison’s day-to-day operations and enforces the release if and when parole is granted, but does not decide on parole itself. The Commissioner oversees corrections at a higher level and does not issue individual parole determinations. So, the Parole Board is the correct authority for conditional release.
