Any person so released shall be required to report at such times and to such person or officer as the judge shall direct.  The judge may cause a warrant to be issued for any person so released if it shall be made to appear to the judge that such person:

    1.  Has been guilty of the violation of any law after his release;

    2.  Is habitually associating with lewd or vicious persons; or

    Upon the issuance of the warrant by the judge, the person shall be delivered forthwith to the place of confinement to which he was originally sentenced and shall serve out the full term for which he was originally sentenced.
