If the person received a twenty-five (25) year sentence, 1995 sentencing rules require that they serve 85% of 25 years before release. If there is no supervision to follow, they are simply released. If they have supervision to follow their prison sentence, they would have to report to a probation office upon release. Parole was abolished in 1986 but there are many forms of supervision, probation, community control, controlled release, etc.

In Massachusetts, a life sentence typically means a minimum of 15 years served before becoming eligible for parole. However, parole is not guaranteed and release is ultimately determined by the parole board.
Yes, they may petition for parole unless the sentence specifically states"without parole."
It depends on the sentence and prior criminal history.
If the sentence is life without parole, then the term is forever and no release will be granted. If the life term is with the possibility of parole, then the Parole Board will, for offenses that carry a mandatory minimum of 85% of the sentence, consider parole after approximately 25 years.
The same as out of Court. Someone who is released from prison before they serve their entire sentence is on "parole" for the remainder of their sentence. For example if someone sits in jail for 6 months on a Felony Stealing charge and gets sentenced to 5 years then they go to prison. The 6 months they sat in jail counts towards their sentence. So if they do 2yrs in prison then get released on parole they are on parole the remainder of their sentence or 2.5 years.

In Virginia, inmates typically serve at least 85% of their sentence before becoming eligible for parole. For a 20-year sentence, an inmate would likely serve around 17 years before being considered for parole.
No. If you commit a crime while on parole, you will have violated the provisions of your parole and it is almost certain that you will be returned to prison to serve out the term of your original sentence. Additionally, if convicted of the new offense, you will probably have that sentence added to whatever original term you were serving for the first offense.

In South Africa, a life sentence does not have a fixed duration; however, the law stipulates that an offender must serve a minimum of 25 years before being eligible for parole. This means they can apply for parole after serving 25 years, but it does not guarantee release, as the decision rests with the parole board. In certain cases, if the sentence is for a particularly serious crime, the individual may serve longer before being considered for parole.
Before 2006, a life sentence in Georgia meant that the individual would be eligible for parole after serving 14 years in prison.
