This law allows the Haryana government to release certain prisoners temporarily for good behavior. It applies to convicted inmates serving sentences in state jails, excluding those convicted of serious crimes like murder, rape, or dacoity. The temporary release, known as furlough, serves as an incentive to maintain good conduct and can count towards their sentence. This system helps rehabilitate prisoners by allowing them to reconnect with society and family, while ensuring public safety by restricting release to non-hardcore offenders.
