(1) The paroled inmate, upon an order of the state board of parole, may be returned
to the custody of the department according to the terms of his original sentence,
and, in computing the period of his confinement, the time between his release and
his return to said custody shall not be considered any part of the term of his
sentence.

(2) Parole shall not be construed in any sense to operate as a discharge of
any inmate paroled under the provisions of law but simply a permit to any such
inmate to go outside a correctional facility; and, if, while so at large, he behaves and
conducts himself as not to incur his reincarceration, he shall be deemed to be still
serving out the sentence imposed upon him by the court and shall be entitled to
good time the same as if he had not been paroled, except as provided in subsection
(3) of this section. If the said paroled inmate is returned to the department, he shall
serve out his original sentence, as provided for in this part 2.

(3) No inmate released on parole on or after July 1, 1981, shall be entitled to a
good time deduction from his sentence while on parole. In the event that his parole
is revoked, he shall become eligible for any good time deductions authorized
pursuant to this article on the date he is returned to the custody of the department.
