How many years are in a life sentence?
According to the Delaware Criminal Code, for the purposes of determining parole eligibility, a life sentence is to be considered a 45-year sentence. That did not mean a person was released when they completed the 45, just that parole was calculated based on that number (parole eligibility back then was one-third of the court imposed sentence less good time). Discretionary parole in Delaware was virtually eliminated by Truth in Sentencing back in 1990 for all future crimes, so a life sentence imposed by the court now is served without parole. A person sentenced to life as a habitual criminal; however, is serving a flat 45-year sentence and may be released when time served plus good time equals 45 years. To sum it up, today life means natural life without parole except for habitual offenders.
