What is a word for release of punishment?

There are a few: # Par-don (pahr-dn) N. A release from a penalty of offense. # Im-pu-ni-ty (im-pyoo-ni-tee) N. Exemption from punishment. # Re-mit (ri-mit) V. To refrain from inflicting or enforcing, as a punishment, sentence, etc. Of course there are more but these are the best ones I could find.
