The general assembly hereby finds and declares that the primary consideration for any decision to grant parole shall be the public safety. The general assembly further finds and declares that, since parole is a privilege granted by the general assembly and not a right guaranteed under the state or federal constitutions, if the parolee violates the conditions of his parole, that privilege may be revoked.
