How is Parole Eligibilty Determined?
For most crimes parole eligibility is based upon the offender earning 25% of his time credits. Since most offenders will receive good time credits towards the eligibility date they will earn 25% of time credits well before they serve 25% of their actual time. Crimes of violence occurring on or after September 1, 1993 require offenders to serve 50% of their sentence without any credit for good time.
