The board shall provide a system of merits and demerits and shall provide for the unconditional release of the inmates of the school where by the system and by the judgment and discretion of the board it is determined that an inmate has entirely reformed and has definitely earned the right to release; and upon reaching this conclusion the board shall recommend to the juvenile court of the parish the unconditional release of the person.
