1. (1) When the Board is satisfied that a parolee has complied with the conditions of his or her parole in a satisfactory manner, the Board shall cause to be issued to such parolee a certificate of final discharge. Final discharge from parole will be granted only after a parolee has reached the expiration date of his or her sentence(s). This is in no way to be construed as permitting a discharge from parole for parolees with a life sentence.
