An Act concerning Indeterminate Sentence.

SECTION 1. Section 1535 of the general statutes is hereby amended to read as follows: When any person shall, for offense committed after the thirty-first day of July, 1907, be sentenced to the state prison, otherwise than for life or in connection with a sentence of execution for a capital offense, or for violation of section 1336, the court imposing the sentence shall establish a maximum term only, for which said convict may be held in the state prison. The maximum term shall not be less than the maximum term of imprisonment prescribed by law as a penalty for such offense; provided, however, that, when any person so sentenced shall have twice before been convicted, sentenced, and imprisoned in a state prison or penitentiary, the court shall sentence said person to a maximum of thirty years; and provided, further, that, in case a person is sentenced to the state prison for two or more separate offenses, where the term of imprisonment for a second or further term is ordered to begin at the expiration of the first and each succeeding term of sentence named in the warrant of commitment, the court imposing said sentences shall name the maximum term of imprisonment for each succeeding term, and the several maximum terms shall, for the purposes of this section and of sections 1536, 1537, 1538, 1539, 1540, and 1541 be construed as one continuous term of imprisonment.

SEC. 2. Section 1536 of the general statutes is hereby amended to read as follows: Any person so sentenced to the state prison, after having been in confinement within said prison for a period not less than one year, may be allowed to go at large on parole in the discretion of a majority of the board of directors of said prison and the warden thereof acting as a board of parole, if in their judgment said prisoner will lead an orderly life if set at liberty.

SEC. 3. The provisions of sections 1535 and 1536 of the general statutes, unaffected by this act, shall apply to sentences within the provisions of said sections imposed for offenses committed prior to July 31, 1907, and the provisions of said sections are hereby continued in force for the purposes of such sentences only.
