C.R.S. Section 17-22.5-203
Time of parole not considered when inmate is reincarcerated

(1)

The paroled inmate, upon an order of the state board of parole, may be returned to the custody of the department according to the terms of his original sentence, and, in computing the period of his confinement, the time between his release and his return to said custody shall not be considered any part of the term of his sentence.

(2)

Parole shall not be construed in any sense to operate as a discharge of any inmate paroled under the provisions of law but simply a permit to any such inmate to go outside a correctional facility; and, if, while so at large, he behaves and conducts himself as not to incur his reincarceration, he shall be deemed to be still serving out the sentence imposed upon him by the court and shall be entitled to good time the same as if he had not been paroled, except as provided in subsection (3) of this section. If the said paroled inmate is returned to the department, he shall serve out his original sentence, as provided for in this part 2.

(3)

No inmate released on parole on or after July 1, 1981, shall be entitled to a good time deduction from his sentence while on parole. In the event that his parole is revoked, he shall become eligible for any good time deductions authorized pursuant to this article on the date he is returned to the custody of the department.
