20. From the time an inmate is committed to a house of detention, the commission is seized of right of his record and examines it at the times fixed by regulation, unless he renounces thereto in writing.

The commission may, upon application and in the light of new facts, re-examine the case of an inmate whose parole has previously been refused, terminated or revoked. However, it is not bound to re-examine an application for parole produced within six months following a decision to refuse, terminate or revoke parole, by an inmate whose sentence of imprisonment is less than two years, nor an application produced within two years of that decision, by an inmate whose sentence of imprisonment is at least two years.
