This paper examines international experiences with releasing prison inmates to probation and the changes in Hungary's regulations on this topic.

The principle, which is also the basis of progressive prison systems, is to allow inmates to become adjusted gradually to society and freedom. The author is the head of the department at the Faculty of Law at Jozsef Attila University. (Publisher summary modified)
