                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

PERIOD OF PAROLE; NOT COUNTED AS PART OF TERM (§ 53.1-156)

The period of parole which shall be fixed by the Board may be greater than the
unserved portion of the sentence actually imposed upon the paroled prisoner by
the court or jury which fixed his sentence. It shall not exceed, however, the
difference between the time actually served in confinement by the paroled
prisoner, without regard to good conduct credit, and the maximum term
established by law as punishment for the offense or offenses of which the
prisoner was convicted. The time during which a parolee is at large on parole
shall not be counted as service of any part of the term of imprisonment for
which he was sentenced upon his conviction.
