English translation:Regional Agency for Post-Custodial Release Supervision and Assistance
Explanation:
In the absence of / 'absent' in AmE any official title for what is clearly an Argentinian, Argentinean or Argentine institution - cut to ProZ colleagues on the spot post-1982, Post-Penitentiary and Oversight for 'Control' or inspection might work for the USA and Canada, oversight alas meaning the opposite, namely omission in BrE and OzE.

Note again that it is release from custody, rather than our UK inhouse audio-typo of custard.

agree  philgoddard: But provincial, not regional, and you could leave out 'release'.
22 mins
  -> Thanks, Phil. I had considered omission of the release, albeit only ex post facto = after the event..
agree  neilmac: Provincial...
11 hrs
  -> Thanks, Neil, for the Provincial agree, though I didn't want to appear too 'provincial' in thinking.
agree  AllegroTrans: I also think Provincial; "Directorate" (which I know you don't like) would be perfectly OK
15 hrs
  -> Thanks, Chris. Points taken. I have (no) truck (n)either with Provincial (n)or with Directorate, except I didn't want to be seen lifting any part of the first answer.
