摘要：This paper discusses whether the Spanish Parole system is rightly oriented according to the aims
of resettlement of offenders and public protection of society. According to existing research, the
Spanish parole system mainly targets low-risk offenders, while most high-risk offenders are
excluded from conditional early release and, therefore, they end their sentence without any kind
of supervision in the community. Research on the effectiveness of parole shows that some
programs that target high-risk offenders may be effective in preventing recidivism. In that
context, if parole supervision plays a role, a reform of parole system would be required in order
to target high-risk offenders. A mixed automatic and discretionary system of parole may be able
to include this kind of offenders and therefore increasing the protection of society. Finally this
model of parole is confronted with a (Spanish) draft government act that lays down extended
sentences.
