23A-27-18.4. Suspension of penitentiary sentence--Conditions--Supervision.

Upon conviction, the sentencing court may suspend any portion of a penitentiary sentence subject to conditions or restrictions as the court may impose. The suspension order or judgment can be made only in the court in which the conviction occurred. A defendant with a partially suspended penitentiary sentence is under the supervision of the Department of Corrections and the Board of Pardons and Paroles. The board is charged with the responsibility for enforcing the conditions imposed by the sentencing judge, and the board retains jurisdiction to revoke the suspended portion of the sentence for violation of the terms of parole or the terms of the suspension.

A defendant with an entirely suspended penitentiary sentence is under the supervision of the sentencing court unless the entirely suspended penitentiary sentence is concurrent or consecutive to an additional penitentiary sentence in which case, the defendant is under the supervision of the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
