No, time spent on parole does not count towards a parolee's original prison sentence in Kentucky. Parole is a form of supervised release granted to eligible inmates after serving a portion of their sentence in prison. It is a separate legal status from serving time in prison.
In Virginia, inmates typically serve at least 85% of their sentence before becoming eligible for parole. For a 20-year sentence, an inmate would likely serve around 17 years before being considered for parole.
Ronald DeFeo Jr., who was convicted of murdering his family in the Amityville house in 1974, has never been granted parole. As of 2021, he remains incarcerated serving a sentence of 25 years to life.
In Texas, inmates typically serve about 75% of their sentence for good behavior, meaning an inmate with a 35-year sentence for murder could serve around 26-27 years before becoming eligible for parole. The specific time served can also be influenced by parole board decisions and other factors.
Typically, individuals sentenced to five years in prison will serve the full five years, unless they are eligible for parole or good behavior credits which may reduce the time served.
Typically, inmates in R.J. Donovan Correctional Facility in California serve around 50-60% of their sentence, so for a 6-month sentence, an inmate might serve approximately 3-4 months before being eligible for parole or release. This can vary based on individual circumstances and behavior in prison.

Parole is in essence an inmate being allowed to serve their time in the community. All parolees have been to prison. Probation which is an alternative to prison is different even though some felons who have topped a prison sentence are granted probation on a new conviction.
Parole officers typically work for government agencies, such as the Department of Corrections or local probation and parole departments. They work primarily in office settings, but they also conduct field visits to meet with parolees in the community, monitor their compliance with parole conditions, and provide support and guidance.

Typically not without the approval of the PO of the current parolee.
It depends on the state, but I believe(In MASS anyway) you are normally eligible for parole after serving 1/3 of your sentence. However, some states do not even have parole. For example, Maine allows parolees to move here, but we do not have parole. Instead we give "good time", which takes some time off of the sentence and if you receive a suspended sentence, you get out early and serve the rest of your time on probation. If you mess up on probation, you ban be sent back to prison for a part of the rest of you sentence or just for the rest of your sentence. But like I sadi, it depends on the state.
Many states charge a monthly supervision fee. I cannot speak for other states, but in Missouri Parole officers do not collect fees. The parolees all over the state mail their fees to one location and it is deposited into a fund used to pay for programs such as substance abuse treatment and electronic monitoring. Parolees are provided self addressed envelopes. Parolees CANNOT be returned to prison for failure to pay fees.
