What "le pasearon" means in this sentence

Question

"En cuanto supe de su condena aquilé esta casa y aproveché los tres días que le pasearon para cavar el subterráneo"

Translation: "As soon as I knew of your conviction I rented this house and took advantage of the three days that ???? in order to dig the tunnel."

I thought it was the verb "pasar" at first but I looked in the book again and they definitively use pasear.

Edit: I've got it! The character was being "paraded" up and down the streets as punishment for his crime, which is one of "pasear"'s meanings.

So le pasearon would mean "they paraded you".

pasear:

Llevar por distintos sitios a una persona o una cosa de la que uno se siente orgulloso de modo que todo el mundo la vea y poder presumir de ella.

Thank you for your answers!

Answer 1

pasear = to take a walk or take for a walk

Edit:

It could never mean "to release him on parole", le/lo pasearon it that he was taken all over, up and down etc...

Answer 2

in this case it depends on context. Pasearlo could mean "to release him on parole" or "to take outside for a walk". A good translation would be:

As soon as I knew of his conviction I rented this house and took advantage of the three days that they released him on parole/took him outside for a walk in order to dig the tunnel.

In this case the use of "leísmo" is confusing to refer to "him" - "L O paseron" for the accusitive is the best choice, if the writer means "him" rather than "you" - 005faa61, Nov 8, 2015
