How do prisoners advance their date of release?
It really depends on how long certain prisoners stay.
For example, if someone is Serving a 60-year sentence, it wouldn't be likely to get out of jail (its no difference against a life-time sentence).
But my guess is around 35 years or below, depending on what you did, if you give the Patrols, Securitys, etc. a good attitude and behavior, your sentence for prison maybe cut off up to 1/2 the time.
