Parole is the system by which people serving indeterminate sentences obtain release (not to be confused with parole supervision after a person is released). • Once those serving indeterminate sentences have reached their minimum sentence (e.g. 25 years on a 25-life sentence), they become eligible for parole.
Federal inmates serve an average of 85% of their sentence, which means that they are required to serve a minimum of 85% of their sentence before becoming eligible for release.
