If you are talking about a furlough, they are rarely given. Furloughs allow the inmate to come home for 1-5 days depending on the circumstances. The circumstances are about the behavior of the inmate, the amount of time served versus their time remaining (on the low side) as they want to integrate the inmate back into society, and give them an incentive to return to the prison to finish out the remainder of the sentence.
