Abstract:
Parole and probation serve vital functions in the criminal justice system. They provide alternatives to incarceration and help offenders reintegrate into society. However, administrative inefficiencies weaken their effectiveness in Bangladesh. A lack of legal clarity, limited institutional capacity, and societal stigma further hinder their implementation. This research analyzes the parole and probation framework in Bangladesh. It identifies key challenges and explores potential reforms. The study examines best practices from other jurisdictions. It highlights strategies that Bangladesh can adapt to improve its system. Judicial and correctional institutions play a crucial role in implementing parole and probation. This research evaluates their effectiveness in ensuring fair and proper application. It emphasizes the need for stronger legal provisions and better monitoring systems. Additionally, it calls for more community-based rehabilitation programs. These improvements can help reduce recidivism and enhance justice administration in Bangladesh.
