12-59-13. Indeterminate Sentence-Release of Prisoner to Parole.) No person serving an indeterminate sentence shall be released from the penitentiary merely because the minimum term of his sentence has expired, but his imprisonment shall continue until the expiration of the maximum term unless he is paroled from the institution by the board. The board may determine and fix the date when an inmate imprisoned under an indeterminate sentence may be paroled, which date, in the discretion of the parole board, may precede the date any minimum sentence may be served under an indeterminate sentence.
§ 8.) Section 12-59-13.1 of the North Dakota Century Code is hereby created and enacted to read as follows:
12-59-13.1. Indeterminate Sentence - Board to Determine Maximum Sentence.) When a person has been imprisoned under an indeterminate sentence the parole board shall prior to the expiration of the minimum term of such sentence fix and determine the maximum sentence to be served by such person. The term set by the parole board shall not be less than the minimum nor more than the maximum sentence imposed upon such person.
