These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When an inmate becomes eligible for parole, he shall be called before the board of pardons and paroles to personally present his application for parole. The board may issue an order to the warden of the penitentiary that the inmate shall be paroled if it is satisfied that: (1) The inmate has been confined in the penitentiary for a sufficient length of time to accomplish his rehabilitation; (2) The inmate will be paroled under the supervision and restrictions provided by law for parolees, without danger to society; and (3) The inmate has secured suitable employment or beneficial occupation of his time likely to continue until the end of the period of his parole in some suitable place within or without the state where he will be free from criminal influences. The board shall fix the time of parole for an inmate.”
