The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Any prisoner who commits a crime while at large upon parole and who is convicted and sentenced therefor may be required by the board to serve such sentence after the original sentence has been completed. Whenever a paroled prisoner is accused of a violation of his parole he shall he entitled to a hearing on such charges before the Indiana parole board under such rules and regulations as the Indiana parole board may adopt. If the Indiana parole board shall find that the prisoner has violated his parole it shall issue an order rescinding such parole but if they shall find that there has been no violation of the parole, it shall issue an order for his release from custody; but no such order of discharge shall be made in any case within a period of less than a year after the date of release on parole except that when the period of the maximum sentence provided by law shall expire at an earlier date, then a final order of discharge must be made and a certificate of discharge issued to the paroled prisoner not later than the date of expiration of the said maximum sentence.” (Emphasis added)”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““Disposition of parole violators. — All parole violators will appear before the parole board as soon as practicable after their return to the institution. At that time the board will establish the date for further consideration of the inmate’s case or authorize immediate reinstatement to parole supervision or discharge. [Ind. Parole Bd. Rule 16, adopted June 28, 1962, filed August 9, 1962].””
