As a general rule, federal convicts must serve 85% of their sentence before being eligible for parole or release.

I disagree with the foregoing answer. The United States Bureau of Prisons provides 53 days per year of "good time" and there is no other sentence reduction available for most inmates. Federal prisoners must serve nearly 7 years to obtain a one-year reduction. There is no federal parole; there is only Supervised Release following completion of sentence.
