In the construction of this subtitle, the following
definition shall conclusively determine the meaning of the terms
used;

(5) A parole is a conditional release from
imprisonment, granted by the [Board of Parole] MARYLAND PAROLE
COMMISSION to any of certain classes of prisoners in any adult
penal or correctional institution of this State, in the manner
provided for in this subheading. A parole shall be evidenced by
an order in writing, and entitles the recipient thereof to leave
the institution in which he was imprisoned, and to serve the
remainder of his term outside the confines thereof if he shall
satisfactorily comply with all the terms and conditions provided
in the parole order. Each such paroled prisoner shall be deemed
to remain in legal custody until the expiration of his full,
undiminished term; and upon having violated the conditions of his
parole, shall be remanded to the institution from which he was
paroled.

(c) (1) Each member of the Commission shall serve a
six-year term and until his successor qualifies. [However,
members currently on the Board of Parole shall be appointed to
the Commission and serve a term equal to the remainder of the
term to which he had been appointed.] A member appointed to fill
a vacancy in an unexpired term serves only for the remainder of
the term.
