In a text on deportation of aliens who have committed crimes:
"Placé en semi-liberté en novembre XXXX, avant d'être définitivement libéré en janvier XXXX, il a trouvé immédiatement un emploi de stagiaire dans une entreprise ... "
Do you think this means released to a half-way house, or released on parole, or something similar???

"partial release" is yet another term.
In any event, it is not a parole or conditional parole but a partial release in specified circumstances on a specified schedule.

Placed in an open prison
I think this is the nearest equivalent in British English. Prisoners go out to work, study, attend hospital etc but must return to the prison at a set time.
