Summary/Abstract: The benefit of the release on parole is not a right of the convict, but only a title, the rule being to fully and effectively serve the applied sentence, so the competent court will evaluate in each particular case if it is timely and prudent to grant this benefit to the convict. In principle, every convict can benefit from a release on probation, everyone of them having a title to this, regardless of the character of the crime they have committed and for which they have been sentenced by the court to a custodial sentence, on condition that the person present a change for the better, noticeable in their behaviour regarding work, discipline at work and in prison, observance of the internal regulations of the prison, helping the administration of the prison in maintaining the order etc.
