prisoner has violated any of the terms or
conditions of his or her permit or conditions of parole set

during the period of his or her parole violated any state
laws. Whenever it shall come to the

permit issued by this state or another
state or jurisdiction has been guilty of any violation, the chairperson shall issue his or
her warrant
to any officer authorized to serve criminal process to
arrest the prisoner and commit him or her to
the adult correctional institutions, to be detained until

determine whether the permit of the prisoner is to be revoked
in accordance with the provisions of
section 13-8-18.1, or in the case of prisoners granted
parole by another state or jurisdiction, and
supervised by the

not be revoked, then the board shall
immediately order the prisoner to be set at liberty under the
terms and conditions of his or her
original permit.

the case may be, to serve the remainder
of the prisoner's original sentence according to the
terms of that sentence.
(b) The time between

return to the adult correctional institutions or the women's
division of the adult correctional
institutions under order of the board shall not be considered as
any part of the prisoner's original
sentence.

liberty when the prisoner's permit is revoked, the chairperson shall
issue his or her warrant to any officer authorized to serve
