Which statement is MOST accurate regarding statutory release?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statutory release is a form of release that is granted by the Correctional Service of Canada, not by the Parole Board of Canada. It is a provision under Canadian law that allows most offenders to be automatically released after serving two-thirds of their sentence, unless it is determined that they are likely to commit a serious offense before the end of their sentence. It is not specifically for those serving life sentences nor is it a form of conditional release granted by the Parole Board of Canada. It is still used and is a significant component of the Canadian correctional system.
