Ontario Parole Board

The OPB can grant,^[5] deny,^[6] revoke, and suspend parole under the Ministry of Correctional Services Act. Also, the Ontario Parole Board can also authorize the re-committal of parolees to custody, lift one's parole suspension, or cancel a temporary absence it has granted.^[7][8]

Parole is a conditional release from a correctional institution.^[9] If a parolee breaches a condition of their parole, then the parole may be suspended or revoked.^[10]

The OPB renders decisions for offenders serving a sentence of less than two years in an Ontario correctional institution and applications for temporary absences from correctional institutions for more than 72 hours.^{[11][12][13][14]}
