can the US Parole commission make you do more time?

let's say a person who has 5 years with a parole structure. He does 3 years initially, a year and a half with his parole revoked, then a three months more. Now he only has a couple months left and is back in jail again. Can the Commission make him do more?

Update:

I forgot to add a touch of detail. I think the people who answered are clueless to how jail time actually work. It's a matter of math. The total jail time is 5 years. Parole is not the same as probation.

3 years + 1.5 years + 3 months = 4 years, 9 months. The person only has 3 months left. My question ask if the Commission can make a person go beyond the 3rd month for ANY reason?

    Yes, so that person better stay out of trouble. Isn't it easier to just not break any laws and have your freedom? How can people just risk their freedom by breaking the law while on parole?

    Any time you violate your parole, you can end up doing more time. Parole is set up as a probationary time for you to prove good behavior. If you don't live up to the parole requirements, you may end up paying in other ways.
