Article 81 Applicable Conditions of the Criminal Law If a criminal sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment has executed more than half of the original sentence, and a criminal sentenced to life imprisonment has actually executed it for more than thirteen years, and has earnestly observed prison regulations, received education and reform, and has truly shown repentance, and is not in danger of recidivism, he may be released on parole. Under special circumstances, with the approval of the Supreme People's Court, the above-mentioned restrictions on the execution of prison terms may be waived.
Recidivists and criminals sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment for intentional homicide, rape, robbery, kidnapping, arson, explosion, throwing dangerous substances or organized violent crimes shall not be released on parole.
When deciding to release a criminal on parole, we should consider the impact on the community where he lives after parole.
