• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not specified
• D. Both

Answer: (A)

Day parole is a step toward reintegration that lets an offender leave the institution during the day to work, study, or participate in programs in the community, with a requirement to return to the facility in the evening. The idea is to test how well they can manage responsibilities and comply with conditions while still being supervised and under the authority of the institution. The statement described would be the opposite of day parole: being out at night and returning during the day. That pattern would not fit how day parole is designed to operate. If an offender needs nighttime access or different hours, other arrangements or forms of release would be considered, but day parole specifically emphasizes daytime activities with nightly return.
