probacion


Explanation:

1. Is parole the same as probation? (primer link)

No. Probation is a period of supervision in the community imposed by the court as an alternative to imprisonment. Parole is the release of a prisoner to supervision in the community after he/she has completed a part of his/her sentence in an institution.

Es confuso, no me quiero hacer bolas, checa el segundo link.

o sea libertad condicional es probation.
Parole es libertad por buena conducta o algo asi.

Explanation:
En este caso, me parece que lo más importante es determinar para qué país va tu traducción a fin de encontrar el equivalente más adecuadoen en la legislación del país destinatario.

Mis sugerencias son sólo para el caso de México:

Parole: a) The release of a prisoner whose term has not expired on condition of sustained lawful behavior that is subject to regular monitoring by an officer of the law for a set period of time. b)
The duration of such conditional release.
Con base en esta definición, el término equivalentee en derecho mexicano para el mismo concepto jurídico es libertad preparatoria (como lo mencionó Ricardo).

Probation: a) The act of suspending the sentence of a person convicted of a criminal offense and granting that person PROVISIONAL FREEDOM on the promise of good behavior.
Este concepto NO existe en derecho mexicano; es decir que a los sentenciados por delitos criminales no se les suspende la sentencia y se les da libertad provisional con base en buena conducta.
Aunque la misma definición en inglés usa las palabras "libertad provisional", en México eso equivale a otro concepto jurídico (para determinados delitos es posible pagar una fianza y salir en libertad provisional hasta que se resuelva el juicio). Por eso, me inclinaría también por la sugerencia de Ricardo de "libertad vigilada", que resulta más descriptiva y no se confunde con otro concepto jurídico. ¡Suerte!
