What is conditional pardon?

A conditional pardon is a type of pardon granted to an individual by a government authority, such as a president or governor, which stipulates certain conditions that must be met for the pardon to remain in effect. This means that although the individual is granted relief from their criminal conviction, they are still required to adhere to specific terms and restrictions as part of their release. Failure to meet these conditions may result in the pardon being revoked and the individual being subjected to further legal consequences. The specific conditions can vary but may include regularly reporting to a parole officer, participating in rehabilitative programs, or refraining from engaging in certain activities or associations.
