  -> Thanks, Brittany. The first time I heard the expression was in the movie "The Devil's Advocate," when Kevin Lomax explained his freedom from his mother's religious influence, saying, "I'm on parole: early release for time served."

stratification of time served and parole release is granted


Explanation:
Parole is the early release of a prisoner who agrees to abide by certain conditions,

Example sentence(s):
  • The court fined him 2,000 shekels ($520) and lifted his house arrest after crediting time served to his 100-day sentence.
