A prisoner may shorten the period of his incarceration, even in the absence of parole, if he maintains a satisfactory institutional adjustment. “Good time and industrial time credits” serve to decrease the length of incarceration. These prisoners are released by action of the Division of Correction upon termination of sentence less credit for good conduct and industrial time earned, but by statute, are supervised “as if on parole” and are subject to the jurisdiction of the Parole Commission after release and bound by the rules and conditions of parole until the legal expiration date of their sentence. A violation of any rules and conditions of parole shall subject the releasee to parole revocation procedures.
