DRAFTER'S NOTE:

[4-603.] 4-513.

The Governor upon giving the notice required by the
Constitution may commute or change any sentence of death into
penal confinement for such period as he shall think expedient.
And, on giving such a notice, he may pardon any person, convicted
of crime, on such conditions as he may prescribe, or he may upon
like notice remit any part of the time for which any person may
be sentenced to imprisonment on such like conditions without such
remission operating as a full pardon to any such person.

[4-604.] 4-514.

In any case in which the Governor may issue a conditional
pardon to any person, the Governor, in the absence of any
provision to the contrary expressed therein, shall be the sole
judge of whether or not the conditions of said pardon have been
breached, and the determination by the Governor, that the
conditions of such pardon have been violated by the person
receiving the same, shall be final and not subject to review by
any court of this State.

[4-605.] 4-515.

In any case in which the Governor may release any person by
a conditional pardon and thereafter, on breach of any condition
therein, revoke 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 considered as
serving any portion of his original sentence during the time he
is released by virtue of such conditional pardon.

[4-607.] 4-516.

(a) It shall be the duty of the Commission of its own
initiative to request the Division to make such investigation as
may enable the Commission to determine the advisability of
granting parole to persons sentenced to a term of 6 months or
more under the laws of this State to the jurisdiction of the
Division of Correction, or to any other place of confinement or
detention of violators of the criminal laws of the State whenever
the prisoner shall have served in confinement one fourth of the
term or consecutive terms.
