81. In any case in which the Governor may release any person by a
conditional pardon and thereafter, on breach of any condition therein, re-
voke said conditional pardon, the person so released on such conditional
pardon shall be required, unless otherwise ordered by the Governor, to
serve the unserved portion of the sentence originally imposed upon him;
and said person, unless otherwise ordered by the Governor, shall not be con-
sidered as serving any portion of his original sentence during the time he
is released by virtue of such conditional pardon.

An. Code, 1924, sec. 54. 1912, sec. 7F. 1914, ch. 500. 1918, ch. 216. 1939, ch. 406, sec. 54.

82. The members of the Board of Parole and Probation and all of
the duly qualified officers and agents of the Division of Parole and Pro-
bation shall have and are hereby given visitorial powers over all institutions
to which any person may be committed upon a criminal charge, whether
such institution be a State, County, or City institution; and the said Direc-
tor of Parole and Probation shall have power to summon any witness,
including any prisoner confined in any State, County, or City institution,
before him, and to administer oaths or affirmations to such witness, wher-
ever, in the judgment of the said Director, it may be necessary for the
effectual discharge of his duties under this sub-title. Any person failing
to appear before said Director of Parole and Probation at the time and place
specified, in answer to said summons, personally served upon such wit-
ness, or refusing to testify, shall be punishable by a fine of not less than
twenty-five dollars nor more than one hundred dollars; false swearing on
the part of any witness testifying before said Director of Parole and
Probation on a matter material to inquiry shall be deemed perjury.

An. Code, 1924, sec. 55. 1912, sec. 7G. 1914, ch. 500. 1939, ch. 406, sec. 55.

83. It shall be the duty of the Director of Parole and Probation of his
own initiative to cause to be made such investigation as may enable him to
determine the advisability of granting parole to persons sentenced under
the laws of this State, to any penal institution therein, for a term or terms
totaling one year or more.

Whenever, upon having completed such investigation the said Director
of Parole and Probation shall be of the opinion that both the interests of
the State and of any prisoner serving a term or terms totaling one year or
more, would be best subserved by the release of said prisoner on parole, and
that there is reasonable probability that, if such prisoner is released, he
will remain at liberty without violating the law, it shall be the duty of
the Director of Parole and Probation to recommend to the Governor, who
is hereby vested with the authority and power to issue and grant paroles
when in his judgment deemed advisable, that the Governor grant a parole
to such prisoner upon such terms and conditions as may be reasonable and
proper; provided, however, that no prisoner sentenced for a term or terms
totaling one year or more, be released on parole before having served in
confinement one-third of such term or consecutive terms, and that no person
who has been sentenced to life imprisonment shall be eligible for parole
consideration until he shall have served in confinement fifteen years.
