Conditional release date and max date only six months apart? Is that normal?

[Rashardswife807]

I went on docs website amd saw that my hubbys conditional release date (3/12) and his max date (9/12) are only six months apart! Doesnt that seem pretty close together? Dont you have to have atleast a year left for parole?

as well as whether he has a flat or indeterminate sentence (like a 1-3 or something). If flat, he serves 6/7ths of the time-so his CR and max out date could be oretty close if it was a short flat sentence. There is no real parole hearing with a flat sentence.

Well he took plea of 3 1/2 years. Thats just seems odd to have the 2 dates so close. And why would he have to do 3 out of the 3 1/2? Shouldnt it only be 2 1/2 if thats the case? Im just really confused!

he does 85% of his time. so for a sentence of 3 1/2 yrs. that would be 3 yrs.

My bf was givin a 3 1/2 his c.r date was 2-17-10 but because he got loss of good time he will now have to max out on 8-19-10........

if he took 3 1/2 -he took a flat sentence and he has to serve 6/7ths of it (3 years) to get to his CR. And Max out would be 3 1/2 years-so there would be exactly a 6 month difference.

Ok thanx guys I was really confused!!! He also got a tier 3 ticket and was sent to the box in january for 60 days and lost 30 days of good time! I dont see that reflected on his cr date on the docs website. Did they just maybe not post it yet?

Did he actually lose 30 days good time or was it just suggested as part of the punishment? Often it is suggested for loss of good time but never taken away.

Ok yes it was suggested! I didnt know that they could suggest it without actually following through!!! Thank you for the help everyone it has helped so much!!!
