A: The amount of time a person spends in prison is up to the parole board. There are factors that they consider such any mandatory minimums including those for prior remands to prison and for certain types of charges. His behavior in prison including any rules violations or if he takes classes will also have an effect on his parole date as well. At this point no one can say for certain who long he will have to stay.
