Explanation:

The Union Home Ministry has issued a set of guidelines to the States and the UTs on the grant of special remission to prisoners.

Remission is the complete ending of a sentence at a reduced point.
Remission is distinct from both furlough and parole in that it is a reduction in sentence as opposed to a break from prison life.
The Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) provides for remission of prison sentences, which means the whole or a part of the sentence may be cancelled.
Under Section 432, the ‘appropriate government’ may suspend or remit a sentence, in whole or in part, with or without conditions.
Under Section 433, any sentence may be commuted to a lesser one by the appropriate government.
This power is available to State governments so that they may order the release of prisoners before they complete their prison terms.

Hence only statement 2nd is correct.
