Go to Prsion Talk Onlin and go to the Arkansas Forum. Someone there should be able to answer that question
In Georgia, for a 10-year sentence, parole eligibility typically occurs after serving 30% of the sentence, which would be 3 years. This means you could be eligible for parole after serving 3 years, not 13 percent of the time.
In Arkansas, inmates typically serve a minimum of 70% of their sentence before becoming eligible for parole. Therefore, for a 10-year prison sentence, an inmate would serve a minimum of 7 years before being considered for parole. It is important to note that parole eligibility and release decisions are made by the Arkansas Parole Board based on various factors including the inmate's behavior and rehabilitation efforts.
In general, how long time of any sentence you serve will depend on what state you are sentenced in. The rules and laws are different from state to state. Contact the court or department of corrections in the state you need information about. They will be able to give you the correct answer.
10 months 22 days to discharge a non violent 2yr sentence
The answer lies within the question. 4 to 10 years means - you must serve a minimum of 4 years but you can serve up to a maximum of 10 years. Any length of time falling between those two times set by law, is at the discretion of the sentencing judge or jury.
10 years... maybe less with good behavior.
A 120-month federal prison sentence is equivalent to 10 years. Generally, inmates serve around 85% of their sentence due to good behavior and other factors, so a person sentenced to 10 years may serve around 8.5 years in federal prison.
10 months
Malcolm X did serve time in jail. He served a total of 7 years from his 10 year sentence for burglary and larceny.
Apparently for the offense(s) he committed, 15 years would have been the total sentence but the judge reduced to to 10. That will now be the maximum sentence. Did the judge say that he had to serve 10 before eligible for parole? If so, he will have to serve the full 10 - less any "good time" he earns while in prison that (if he keeps his nose clean) should help reduce the sentence a little.
In Iowa, a person serving a 10-year sentence may be eligible for parole after serving a portion of their time, typically one-third of the sentence, which would be about 3 years and 4 months. However, this can vary based on factors such as good behavior and the nature of the offense. Additionally, some inmates may serve time in community-based corrections or receive credit for time served before sentencing. Ultimately, the actual time served can differ based on individual circumstances and state policies.
