Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

My boyfriend was sentenced to 18 months. After he was sentenced he went up for a violation of probation case. The judge gave him a consecutive sentence of 1 year. Is the inmate still eligible for parole with the consecutive sentence and can he be released on parole without regards to the consecutive sentence?
