The topic of this paper is the analysis of the implementation of the institute of conditional release in practice of the courts of the Republic of Serbia in the period from 2011 to 2015, based on the population of persons released on parole from the penal-correctional institutions in Sremska Mitrovica, Požarevac and Niš, with a special emphasis on the treatment of convicted persons. The author believes that knowledge of the treatment of convicted persons is a necessary precondition for the quality implementation of the conditional release institute in practice. When we talk about progression in treatment, the research showed that 81,2% of prisoners had progression in prison treatment, 18,3% is without progress, while 0,5% returned to the treatment group with a lower degree of prison rights. For a positive court decision on conditional release, it is also important: a working engagement of the convicted person, use of special rights outside prison by convicts, good behavior, and absence of disciplinary punishment (the maximum deviation allowed by the law is at most two disciplinary penalties for serious disciplinary offenses). Although there is some progress in the implementation of conditional release in practice, it seems that the idea of mandatory conditional release has not been fully applied in practice. This is something that should be changed in practice.
