What does it mean when a prisoner receives his parole papers in state prison?

It means simply that the Department of corrections (parole board specifically) has determined that the inmate can be safely reintegrated back into society on a conditional release, with supervision lasting typically for two years, sometimes as long as five to ten years, and rarely for life except in some capital cases.
Realistically it typically means that the prisons have become overcrowded, and the inmate has proven that he can play by the Departments rules sufficiently to be presumed safe for reintegration into society OR that he is sufficiently habitualized that he will return shortly after release for violating his parole conditions or reoffending.

If a prisoner is being prosecuted for another crime and the charge is still pending then the prosecutor can file a detainer with the location where the prisoner is confined. This ensures the prisoner will not be released back to the street without first answering for the other crime. The prosecutor can writ the prisoner to their location prior to their release from prison to try to dispose of the case or the prisoner can be taken into custody when released on parole.
How can an early release from prison be granted?
If your sentence has a "possibility of parole" date on it, it is highly unlikely that you will be paroled until you have served at least that amount of time. However, there have been circumstances that have led to early parole, one of which I know is overcrowding in prisons. And if there is a circumstance in which early parole is offered, inmates are usually selected according to their behavior or the nature of their crime. You can be paroled after you've served 1/3 of your sentence, depending on your behavior.

No, it is done all the time by different parole boards and agents. The parolee is still a prisoner of the Dept of Corrections until they are released fully from the state, even living in society. Parole has many conditions and rules and if even one of them are broken the original sentence will be reinstated and the prisoner will go back to prison to serve all their remaining sentence. Having surveillance in the parolee's home or even a GPS tracking device is very normal and encouraged. (Source : Experience as a parole agent)
