Legal basis: Article 81 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 13 years, has earnestly observed prison regulations, received education and reform, and has truly repented, and is not in danger of recidivism, he can 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.
