What does determinate penitentiary time mean followed by indeterminate time?

In the mid 1800's sentences to state pens were "flat" (i.e., for defined periods of time). Today, we would call them "determinate" sentences. The remaining time on a sentence "indeterminate time" is time that may not have to be served based on the behavior of the individual during their time in the penitentiary. This is where parole comes into play. For instance if a individual is sentenced to 2 years determinate and 10 years indeterminate they must serve a minimum of 2 years in prison. At the end of that 2 years they could be paroled anytime within the next 10 years for good behavior, alleviate overcrowding, etc.
