Courtesy Supervision: A form of temporary supervision often centered around travel through an otherwise non supervising jurisdiction/district.

Released to Home Confinement: (also called house arrest or home detention) A form of supervision in which a person is confined by order to his or her residence. Travel is usually restricted, if allowed at all. Home Confinement is a lenient alternative to jail/prison time or juvenile-detention time.

Mandatory Release: (also called mandatory supervision) Supervision whereby an inmate is released prior to the completion of their sentence due to legal technicalities (often factors "good time") which oblige the criminal justice system to free them. Where parole is granted or denied at the discretion of a parole board, mandatory release does not involve a decision making process: one either qualifies for it or does not. Mandatory supervision tends to involve stipulations that are more lenient than those of parole, and in some cases place no obligations at all on the individual being released.

Military Supervised Release (MSR): Through a Memorandum of Understanding between the Office of Probation and Pretrial Services of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts and the Department of Defense (DOD), the United States Probation Office provides assistance to military prisoners released from military confinement facilities through parole and supervised release. The only prisoners eligible fore MSR are those with an approved finding of guilty of an offense that occurred on or after 16 Aug 01, and are eligible for parole, but are not paroled. All military prisoners prior to being released from confinement on their MRD will be reviewed by the NC and PB for MSR. All prisoners who fall under the rules of MSR are required to submit an adequate release plan to include employment, residence and aftercare treatment as required.

Parole: A post-prison supervision program where eligible inmates have the terms and conditions of parole set. Parole is a conditional extension of the limits of confinement after an offender has served a minimum part of his sentence. The period of parole cannot exceed the balance of the sentence. Under parole, the offender is to be supervised in the community under specific conditions.

Parole Compassionate Release: The release of a subject on medical or humanitarian grounds, such as terminal illness or a child in the community with an urgent need for his or her incarcerated guardian.
