How long is he/she going to stay in jail? Why does it have to be such a big range?

They will spend at least 8 years no more than 25 years. After 8 they will be eligible for parole, they will go before a parole board and they will consider the original offense, time served, behavior on the 'inside' and room in the system for the offender. They will also take into account if the convict has remorse or has changed in anyway. If they are let out on parole they will serve the rest of the 25 years on parole. Any violation of the terms of parole will be cause to go back to prison.

In most cases, the person would be able to go to a parole board after serving 8 years. They would have the remaining time over their head. If parole was violated, the person would go back to prison to finish up the 25 years that has been sentenced to them.

They will serve at least 8 of the 25 years of their sentence. After the 8 years they will be eligible for parole. They will not serve more then 25 years. I guess the range is for the crime they commited.

Doing 8-25 means someone screwed up big time and wil do no less than 8 years, but could do up to 25 depending on good behavior and parole rights. But count on them to do no less than 6 years. He/she/they might get lucky in the overcrowding and get an early parole hearing and if they can prove that they learned their lesson and can be productive members of society again, they may get out early. But be careful as the rate of those who end up back in prison is very high.

It means you will serve at least 8 years before you are eligible for parole, and you will serve no more than 25 years.

It means you serve Eight to Twenty five years. If you are a very well behave inmate as little as eight years behind bars and then another Seventeen years on parole or if you are very naughty twenty Five years behind bars and no parole

Eight years would be the minimum time they would serve, and the twenty five years would be the maximum time they would serve.

this can be an ordinary one. If the international receives too warm, we've shown that we can proceed to exist it because the "Cradles of Civilization" were in warm, dry elements. If the international receives chilly, then we've already shown that we can arise to ice a at the same time as, and that is with none "intense" technologies. If the international receives overpopulated, it is going to, out of necessity, stability itself out. i do not imagine we opt for to agonize about surviving the subsequent 100 years. the actual question is the thanks to we save the subsequent 100 years from growing the subsequent darkish Age.

It means in 8 years he can get parole but will be on parole for the time he did not serve ...mostlikely...

the range indicates that a trial for other charges is impending. FOr example, if i got charged for robbing a bank and assault, and robbing a bank means eight years in prison and assault means seventeen, the judge could convict me of robbing a bank, but needs to wait on more evidence before the assault, so he'd tell me i'm gonna have between eight and twenty five years in prison.
good luck.
