How much time do you serve on a 20 year sentence in state prison Virginia?

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.

If a man is told to serve a minimum of thirty years how soon can parole be given?

In states with statutory minimum time legislation enacted, he would serve thirty years before being eligible for parole. In states that permit accumulation of adminstartive "good time" credits, he will serve less time, but it will be up to him and the facility warden how much that time is.

How much time do you serve on a 20 year sentence in state prison?

Twenty years. A prison sentence is typically issued in two parts, the minimum (the time you must serve before being eligible for parole) and the maximum (the time you must serve--statutory time--before you would be discharged). If the minimum is twenty years, and there is no "Good Time" law in your state, then you will serve twenty years before being considered for parole. With such a long minimum, it is highly unlikely you will receive parole your first time up. It is most likely that you will serve until the halfway mark between your minimum and maximum. If the maximum (statutory time) is twenty years, refer to your minimum and check your expected release date. If you were given a flat twenty year sentence, you will serve twenty years, provided there is no Disciplinary Credit awarded in your state.


After someone's parole is revoked how long does the state have to tell that person their sentence?

If you were on parole, then you KNEW what your original sentence was. If your parole was revoked there is no need to tell you how much time you have to serve - it will be the same as your original sentence. UNLESS - your parole was revoked because you committed another offense. THEN - not only will you serve your original sentence your prison time will be increased by whatever the sentence is for your new offense.

When can you come up for parole when serving a 15 year sentence?

This depends on whether the state has a parole system and if the defendant is eligible for it. For a 15 year sentence, if a state has a parole system, the defendant could be required to serve at least five years, perhaps even more if, for example, the defendant was convicted of violent crime. Each state that has a parole system dictates the minimum time a person must serve before being eligible for parole.


How much jail time do you get for a parole warrant?

Your parole officer can get it to where you only have to do 90 days or 2 for 1 which means every day counts as 2 so then you will serve half the time (45 days) or if you have a tough parole officer you could possibly sit in jail for the rest of your parole period. ADDED: The above assumes that the PO can convince the judge. It is the JUDGE you are brought before who will have the last say on what happens to you. The PO can only offer his opinion as an advisor, he has no legal power to control the sentence. A PAROLE violation is usually treated more seriously than a PROBATION violaion. You could be facing going back to prison to serve the remainder of your sentnece.


How much of a federal sentence must be completed before parole?

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.
