Generally, before any parole may be granted, the minimum sentence, less any administrative good time, must be completed. I am not familiar with any Federal Parole system. As I understand it, Federal time is calculated on a one for one basis; that is, for every day of time served with no administrative disciplines, the inmate earns one day off his sentence. Therefore, for a ten year sentence, the inmate may only have to serve five years.

Define what you mean by "supervised release." If you are referring to "PAROLE," and they are in violation of the conditions of their parole, they can be returned to prison to finish the unexpired remainder of their sentence when they are found and/or try to re-enter the country. There are no statutes of limitation after which persons convicted and sentenced for a federal offense are "home free," or the charges "go away."
