You’ll be released on the first date you’re allowed to get parole or as soon as possible, and kept under supervision, known as being ‘on licence’ or probation.
You can get help and financial support once you leave prison.
If you do not get parole
Your case will be sent back to the Parole Board at regular intervals if you do not get parole.
