Daniel is serving a 15-year sentence and receiving good time of 20 days per month. When will he be eligible for parole consideration?

To determine when Daniel will be eligible for parole consideration, we first need to calculate how much time he can reduce from his sentence through good time.

Daniel has a 15-year sentence, which translates to 180 months (since 15 years × 12 months/year = 180 months). He earns 20 days of good time each month. Over the course of a month, 20 days of good time translates to approximately 0.67 months (since 20 days is about two-thirds of a month).

To find out how much time off he earns in a year, we multiply 0.67 months by 12, which gives us about 8 months off for good time.

Now calculating the total good time he accumulates over his full sentence: if he earns 8 months per year, over 15 years, he would accumulate 120 months (15 years × 8 months/year). However, since this is not directly reducing his eligibility for parole and much of it may not be realized, we usually look at the standard reduction for parole eligibility.

Generally, inmates may become eligible for parole after serving a certain percentage of their sentence. In many jurisdictions, it can be around 25% of the total sentence, though this
