The system of conditional release from prison devised by Captain Alexander Maconochie and first developed in Ireland by Sir Walter Crofton was known as the "ticket of leave." This allowed prisoners to be released on the condition that they had to report regularly to a supervising officer and maintain good behavior. Probation is a similar concept, but it is a form of punishment that involves supervision in the community rather than release from prison. Home confinement and reformatory are also forms of punishment but not specific to conditional release from prison.
