But this is exactly the distinction we need more information on - is it a parole, which indeed involves hearings and inquiries, or is this more akin to an automatic reduced sentence, which is granted automatically unless there is cause for not granting it? If it's a parole, did they hold hearings and make a determination? There is a lot of missing information that the media reports don't have, but the way the stories read make it sound more like a reduced sentence type of situation.
U.S. federal law credits an inmate with a sentence reduction for good behavior for any felony sentence that is not a life sentence, which would include all manner of violent offenders including murderers.
