FAQ
In federal court you will have to serve 85% of your sentence if convicted of federal charges. Thus, if you are sentenced to 10 years in prison, you will actually serve 8.5 years in prison. However, for most state felony convictions, you will only serve 50% of your actual sentence.
If your sentence is for 2 years or less then you will be released after half the sentence. If your sentence is for more than two years, then in most cases you will be eligible for parole after serving one third of the sentence. Your sentence is for 1095 days, but you will be able to apply for parole after 365 days.
You will be released when you do 30 percent of your time unless your state offers good time which I believe every state does. Two years ( 12 months to a year x 2=24 months. 24x . 30= 7.2 months.
85% of 24 months is 20.4 months. Since 2 years equals 24 months, you take 85% of 24 months.
In most places 12 months is a year and this includes time in jail. If the state has good time, you might do as little as 8 months per year you are sentenced after subtracting good time.
All incarcerated individuals, except those serving Life sentences, have a conditional release date equal to either one-third (1/3) off their maximum sentence for indeterminate sentences and one-seventh (1/7) off their maximum sentence for determinate sentences.
Because it is a short-term sentence (2 years or less) you are released after serving half the sentence.
In New York, misdemeanors are punishable by a jail sentence. This can be up to 1 year in local jail (Rikers Island in NYC) for a class “A” misdemeanor, or up to 90 days in jail for a class “B” misdemeanor. Non-criminal violations, such as Disorderly Conduct, are also punishable by up to 15 days in jail.
In NY there are two kinds of “life” sentences. There is an indeterminate life sentence which would be as little as “15 to life” or as much as “25 to life”, meaning the minimum number is the time at which you are eligible for parole, and if not paroled the maximum is referred to as your natural life.
