24-5-7. Board authorized to grant early final discharge from supervision--Certificate of discharge--Prisoner not entitled to early discharge.
Upon recommendation of the supervising agent, the Board of Pardons and Paroles may grant an early final discharge from supervision for a parolee or person serving a suspended sentence under supervision of the board if the board is satisfied that an early final discharge would be in the best interests of society and the inmate. At the time of early final discharge from supervision, the secretary of corrections shall issue a certificate of discharge pursuant to §24-5-2. No inmate is entitled to an early final discharge. Neither this section nor its application may be the basis for establishing a constitutionally protected liberty, property, or due process interest in any inmate.
