Sorry, there will probably be no parole for your friend with a life sentence.
50 years to life in prison
30 years. But a convict can serve a minimum of 25 years for a life sentence.
Generally, the reference is to a prison term. 35 to life would be a sentence of no less than 35 years, and no more than life in prison.
It depends on the type of sentence given. If the sentence is determinate sentencing, then the term is 30 years. If it is indeterminate sentencing, which is used nationally and more often, it can be anywhere from 40 years to the rest of their natural life or as little as 8 years. It all depends on the level the crimes committed; federal, state or local, and in which jurisdiction the judge is presiding as well as how the judge hands down his sentences.
It depends where... CANADA: A life sentence means LIFE in prison! It is a missconception that in Canada it is 20 or 25 years. You can apply for parole at 25 years depending on what your charged with (ex First Degree Murder is a life sentence with possability of parole at 25 years) USA: Depends on the State
It depends sort of, but generally, from 20 years to life in prison.
