Parole is in essence an inmate being allowed to serve their time in the community. All parolees have been to prison. Probation which is an alternative to prison is different even though some felons who have topped a prison sentence are granted probation on a new conviction.

The same as out of Court. Someone who is released from prison before they serve their entire sentence is on "parole" for the remainder of their sentence. For example if someone sits in jail for 6 months on a Felony Stealing charge and gets sentenced to 5 years then they go to prison. The 6 months they sat in jail counts towards their sentence.
