The board may determine and fix the date when an inmate imprisoned under an indeterminate sentence may be paroled, which date, in the discretion of the parole board, may precede the date any minimum sentence may be served under an indeterminate sentence.

The term set by the parole board shall not be less than the minimum nor more than the maximum sentence imposed upon such person.
