Text: The Board of Probation and Parole, in determining the fitness for parole of any prisoner, will take a serious view of any escape on such prisoner's record. The following rules will be effective in determining eligibility for parole of prisoners who have escaped: 1. Prisoners who escape from custody of prison authority before serving the minimum of their indeterminate sentences or the one-third of their definite or flat sentences must, on apprehension and return to custody, serve the remaining months of their minimum sentences, plus the minimum of any new sentence, plus a period of one year. 2. Prisoners who escape from custody of prison authority after serving the minimum of their indeterminate sentences or the one-third of their definite or flat sentences must, on apprehension and return to custody, serve the minimum of any new sentence received, plus a period of one year. 3. Prisoners who escape from custody of prison authority once before and once after serving the minimum of their indeterminate sentences or the one-third of their definite or flat sentences must, upon apprehension and return to custody, serve the minimum of any new sentences received, plus a period of two years. 4. Prisoners who escape from custody of prison authority two or more times before serving the minimum of their indeterminate sentences or the one-third of their definite or flat sentences must, upon apprehension and return to custody complete the remaining months of their minimum sentences, plus the minimum of any new sentences, plus three years. 5. Prisoners who escape from custody of prison authority two or more times after completing the minimum of their indeterminate sentences or the one-third of their definite or flat sentences must, on apprehension and return to custody, serve the minimum of any new sentences, plus a period of three years. 6. Prisoners who escape from custody of prison authority two or more times before and two or more times after serving the minimum of their indeterminate sentences or the one-third of their definite or flat sentences must, upon apprehension and return to custody, serve the minimum of any new sentences received, plus a period of four years. Return to custody means return to the penal institution. The Board will consider an attempted escape as an escape in determining eligibility.
