A close friend of mine got sent to jail for 3 years, is there anyway he can get out of jail and just get parole and pay instead?

He printed bootleg movie covers is what he do. Also who should be asked about the parole commission, to see if he can be granted parole?

I think that he is in prison, instead of jail.

It depends on a few things:
1. His sentence, if he is eligible for parole?
2. His crime, mandatory vs non-mandatory sentence.
3. He should get a decent lawyer.

It doesn't work that way. He was sentenced to prison and has to serve that sentence. Some sentences allow for the possibility of parole after a certain period of time, but that still doesn't mean that parole will necessarily be granted; it would be up to the parole commission

you cannot get sentenced to jail for 3 years?
jail is 1 year or less
prison is one year and a day.
if sentence was to jail then he may do the year and the rest on probation from the courts or from the judge?
fines may also be applicable.
it is a federal copyright infringement to do what he did and then try to resale the copies.
