You do not do 80% of the time in a Texas prison unless its a federal charge in a texas located Federal prison. In TDCJ an inmate serves 25% of their sentence in non aggrevated offenses, and usually about 50% on aggrevated offenses. This just means the person is eligible for parole at 25% and 50% of the time, respectively. The time is also calculated by actual days served plus good time. So if you have all good time, parole eligibility is actually at around 15% of the sentence. Most people do not make their first parole though, so I would not expect a person with a 10 year sentence to make it out in 15 months. Realistically from what I understand, if non aggrevated a 10 year sentence would most likely do around 3-4 years. Hope that helps

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.
How much time do you serve on a 3 year sentence in federal prison?
In general, how long time of any sentence you serve will depend on what state you are sentenced in. The rules and laws are different from state to state. Contact the court or department of corrections in the state you need information about. They will be able to give you the correct answer.
Do you do all federal time when sentenced?
As a general rule, federal convicts must serve 85% of their sentence before being eligible for parole or release. I disagree with the foregoing answer. The United States Bureau of Prisons provides 53 days per year of "good time" and there is no other sentence reduction available for most inmates. Federal prisoners must serve nearly 7 years to obtain a one-year reduction. There is no federal parole; there is only Supervised Release following completion of sentence.
