How can an early release from prison be granted?
If your sentence has a "possibility of parole" date on it, it is highly unlikely that you will be paroled until you have served at least that amount of time. However, there have been circumstances that have led to early parole, one of which I know is overcrowding in prisons. And if there is a circumstance in which early parole is offered, inmates are usually selected according to their behavior or the nature of their crime. You can be paroled after you've served 1/3 of your sentence, depending on your behavior.

It depends on the type of sentence given. If the sentence is determinate sentencing, then the term is 30 years.

It all depends on the level the crimes committed; federal, state or local, and in which jurisdiction the judge is presiding as well as how the judge hands down his sentences.
How much time served on an 11 year prison sentence?
In the UK, normally the sentence actually served is two thirds, but this is dependent on parole or judge's instructions. Probably around 7 - 8 years with good behavior. In the US some states award time for good behavior, some states have minimum sentencing laws. The typical US criminal sentence will have two time periods, the minimum and the maximum. The minimum will be anywhere from more than a year to 40 or more years. The maximum will be anywhere from more than a year to life. The only sentence in the US that is not issued without a minimum is "Life without the possibility of parole." In a state that follows minimum sentence laws, if the minimum sentence is 11 years, the offender will serve 11 years.
How can you still be on parole if you max out all of your sentence my man was sentenced to 8yrs did all 8 but they still want him to be on parole?
In many states, every prison sentence is an "indeterminate sentence", meaning that once the judge assigns the felon to the department of corrections, the parole board gets to make every decision. Typically that doesn't happen unless the inmate has been abusing the system. If you really want to know why, ask the parole board.

What happens when a person is placed on parole?
When an inmate is taken before the parole board, they can be accepted or denied for parole. When they are placed on parole, the parole board will assign a parole officer to monitor that person. The parolee is required to follow state mandated conditions as well as conditions that are required for their specific crimes.
Would the parole board members override a sentencing judge?
Parole board members do not have the authority to override a sentencing judge's decision; their role is to evaluate an inmate's suitability for parole based on behavior, rehabilitation, and risk assessment. While they can grant or deny parole, they operate within the framework set by the original sentence and the law. If a judge imposes a specific sentence, including any conditions, the parole board must adhere to that when making parole decisions.
