In general, a 10-year mandatory sentence means that an individual must serve the full ten years before being eligible for parole, as mandatory sentences do not typically allow for early release. However, specific laws and regulations can vary by jurisdiction. In some cases, factors such as good behavior or participation in rehabilitation programs may influence parole eligibility, but the initial mandatory term must usually be completed first. Always consult legal counsel or local statutes for precise information regarding individual cases.

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.
