Conditional Liberation in Spain.

- Abstract
The article reports that conditional liberation of the prisoners has been established in Spain by law passed July 23, 1914. Liberation is accorded to those condemned for more than one year in prison after they have served out three-fourths of their sentence and when they have been found worthy of this favor by their good conduct. In each chief province there is a Commission of Conditional Liberation, as the French call it, charged with the administration of this law. After this commission has passed upon the matter, its recommendations are taken into consideration by a central commission of the state which makes a selection among those proposed for conditional liberation and recommends them to the king. The liberation is accorded by royal degree. This parole may be revoked if the condemned person does not show himself worthy of release and in that case he is reincarcerated in prison to serve out the remainder of his time. The local commissions are also required to have oversight over those released and are charged also with the protection and employment of those liberated.
