PAROLE is completely different from probation. When "someone" an inmate, says that they are "up for parole" it simply means that the Department of Corrections has a standard measure of time served before an inmate can be considered for Parole. It is a date for a parole review hearing for a consideration to that inmate for a conditional release called "Parole".
It is granted after major consideration to time served, the severity of the offense and rather or not any victims of that inmates crimes have petitioned the DOC (Department of Corrections) to NOT release that inmate.
Being "up for parole" does not mean that the inmate will get parole.
Parole can be granted or denied, it is not a "given" that an inmate will get parole no matter how long they have been incarcerated or how well behaved they have been.
Given the particulars of the crime? The DOC will determine rather an inmate receives parole.
This hearing/meeting, is usually done without the presence of the inmate.
It does not play out like the Shawshank Redemption where the lone inmate is sitting before a panel. Rarely is this done in the real world.......(certain cases) RARE!
The inmate is not privet to all that is said. Merely sent the outcome in a brief and punctuated letter from the DOC.

It means that they go into a room and sit in a chair in front of a parole board (about 5 people). They're asked questions about their rehabilitation, what they have learned, why they think they should be released on parole, and their prison record is examined (behavior reports, progress reports, etc).
The board of people will then decide if the prisoner should be allowed to leave the prison.
If not, then they stay.
If they say yes, then the prisoner is released back into the public on a short leash--they have to check in at a set time with their parole officer (once a week, usually), they have to secure a job (sometimes with job assistance from the penitentiary), and be good.
If they break any of the rules of their parole, they go straight back to jail.
I hope this helps.

it means that they're given a chance to get out of jail, but on certain conditions, they have an officer they answer to, inmates usually get parole if they illistrate good behavior.

It usually means that they have done their time as determined by the court, and will be reviewed as to whether the board feels they have been "rehabilitated" so they are not a danger to society or themselves.

Go before the review board to see when they can get out of jail.

Means they are in prison and you should stay away from them.
