You could also call this:

"A hearing to decide rules for when someone leaves prison"

Illustration for Parole Act 2002

If the Parole Board is having a hearing just to decide on special conditions for an offender's release under section 18 or section 19, this section applies to you. The Board can make a decision without listening to anyone in person, unless you are the offender and you want to attend and speak, or the Board wants to hear from someone else. You can ask to attend the hearing and make oral submissions if you are the offender.
