How do prisoners advance their date of release?
It really depends on how long certain prisoners stay. For example, if someone is Serving a 60-year sentence, it wouldn't be likely to get out of jail (its no difference against a life-time sentence). But my guess is around 35 years or below, depending on what you did, if you give the Patrols, Securitys, etc. a good attitude and behavior, your sentence for prison maybe cut off up to 1/2 the time.

Is a person serving a life sentence entitled to benefit from money left to them in a will?
Yes, but with one exception. A person serving a life sentence is doing so because he/she has been convicted of a crime. The criminal laws prescribe punishment such as fines and imprisonment (and perhaps loss of vote or right to possess guns)for violating laws, but criminal penalties do not take away all rights. Even such prisoners are still entitled to rights of due process, freedom from cruel and unusual punishment and others. No criminal laws take away the very basic rights of prisoners entirely. As to the exception: If the person is serving a life sentence for murdering the person who left him the money in the will, then he is not allowed to inherit.
How long is a life sentence in Ireland?
THE length of a life sentence has more than doubled in the past 15 years, new figures reveal. Criminals sentenced to life imprisonment are now serving an average period in custody of 17 years and one month, an analysis of Parole Board findings shows. This compares with an average of slightly over seven and a half years for 'lifers' in 1984, under 12 years in 1994, and almost 14 years in the following decade. Commenting on the findings, Justice Minister Dermot Ahern(current minister 2009) last night said the figures demonstrated that life sentence prisoners were now serving longer terms in custody.
Why were penal colonys established?
Transportation of criminals to Australia, for instance, gave the British Government a ready source of cheap labour to establish British settlements. It also saved the cost of keeping prisoners in British gaols. Very few transported criminals were able to return to Britain after serving their sentence, many died in the penal colonies. While the term criminal was justified to most prisoners, stealing a loaf of bread when starving in Britain, was often enough to sentence you to transportation.
