Ticket of Leave (1 jan 1850 ano – 1 jan 1850 ano)

Descrição:

The ticket of leave was basically a permit that was given to an offender in exchange for a certain period of good conduct. Through this process, the prisoner could instead earn his own wage through his own labor prior to the expiration of his sentence. In addition, other liberties were provided so long as the prisoner’s behavior remained within the lawful limits set by the ticket of leave system. This system is therefore often considered the antecedent to the development of parole.
