Conditional release is a method of release from detention that is contingent upon obeying conditions under threat of return to detention under reduced due process protections.{{cite journal|author=Doherty, Fiona|title=Indeterminate Sentencing Returns: The Invention of Supervised Release|volume=88|journal=N.Y.U. L. Rev.|number=958|date=2013}}

When applicable in the context of post-conviction detention, unconditional release can be a synonym of parole.

Suspects may also receive a conditional release from investigative detention. In many jurisdictions this can be synonymous with release under investigation (RUI), in the UK, or judicial interim release in Canada.{{cite web|title=3.18 Judicial Interim Release|date=8 May 2017 |url=https://www.ppsc-sppc.gc.ca/eng/pub/fpsd-sfpg/fps-sfp/tpd/p3/ch18.html }}{{cite web|title=Release under investigation and pre-charge bail|url=https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/campaigns/criminal-justice/release-under-investigation}}
