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 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.

How much time is served on 15 year prison sentence?

You could serve 0 if your sentence is commuted or you are pardoned (and you accept) or you could serve to the max of 15 years. Commit further crimes while in prison and you could serve even longer. Most will probably serve less than the full 15 due to time off for good behavior or parole.
