(b) If the unauthorized absence occurs prior to the parole release date and the inmate returns to the Department of Corrections’ custody prior to the parole release date: (A) Count the first day of unauthorized absence and every day up to the date of return to the Department of Corrections following a hold in another in-state or out-of-state jurisdiction; (B) Add the total number of days determined in (A) of this subsection to the previous parole release date.
