There Is a Newer Version
of
the Rhode Island General Laws
2005 Rhode Island Code - § 13-8-9 — Issuance of parole.
The parole board, in the case of any prisoner whose sentence is subject to its
control, unless that prisoner is sentenced to imprisonment for life, and unless
that prisoner is confined as a habitual criminal under the provisions of §
12-19-21, may, by an affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the
board, issue to that prisoner a permit to be at liberty upon parole, whenever
that prisoner has served not less than one-third ( 1/3) of the term for which
he or she was sentenced. The permit shall entitle the prisoner to whom it is
issued to be at liberty during the remainder of his or her term of sentence
upon any terms and conditions that the board may prescribe.
