Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2 of NRS 213.1519, if parole is lawfully revoked and the parolee is thereafter returned to prison, the parolee forfeits all previously earned credits for good behavior earned to reduce his or her sentence pursuant to chapter 209 of NRS and shall serve any part of the unexpired maximum term or the maximum aggregate term, as applicable, of his or her original sentence as may be determined by the Board.

3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2 of NRS 213.1519, the Board may restore any credits forfeited pursuant to subsection 2.

4. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 213.15187, the time a person is an escaped prisoner is not time served on his or her term of imprisonment.
