        (2)    The Commission shall keep a record of the hearing.

    (c)    If the commissioner finds from the evidence that the parolee has violated a condition of parole, the commissioner may take any action that the commissioner considers appropriate, including:

        (2)    continuing parole:

            (i)    without modification of its conditions; or

            (ii)    with modification of its conditions, including a requirement that the parolee spend all or part of the remaining parole period in a home detention program.

    (d)    (1)    Subject to paragraph (4) of this subsection, if an order of parole is revoked due to a technical violation, as defined in § 6–101 of this article, the commissioner hearing the parole revocation may require the individual to serve a period of imprisonment of:

            (ii)    The presumption may be rebutted if a commissioner finds and states on the record, after consideration of the following factors, that adhering to the limits on the period of imprisonment established under paragraph (1) of this subsection would create a risk to public safety, a victim, or a witness:

                1.    direct imposition of a longer period of imprisonment than provided in paragraph (1) of this subsection, but no more than the time remaining on the original sentence; or
