Conditional release

Conditional release is a method of release from detention that is contingent upon obeying conditions under threat of return to detention under reduced due process protections.[1]

When applicable in the context of post-conviction detention, unconditional release can be a synonym of parole.

Suspects may also receive a conditional release from investigative detention. In many jurisdictions this can be synonymous with release under investigation (RUI), in the UK, or judicial interim release in Canada.[2][3]

In a psychiatric setting

Conditional release can also be used as a less restrictive alternative to hospitalizing psychiatric patients.[4]
