Compassionate release is when you’re released early because:

• you’ve given birth to a child, or
• you’re seriously ill and unlikely to get better.

You have to apply to the Parole Board. They might hold a hearing, or they might order a compassionate release without holding a hearing.

There may be. Standard and special release conditions can still be imposed by the Parole Board if they think they’re necessary.

Yes, you can be recalled if you break your release conditions.
