Practice question
Mira has served the minimum of a valid indeterminate sentence and is otherwise eligible. The record establishes an unresolved, substantial risk of further unlawful conduct. She claims that the minimum term requires immediate parole. Is she correct?
- Yes, because the maximum term is only advisory
- Yes, if she promises orally to behave
- No, because parole consideration includes the probability of living lawfully and remains discretionary
- No, because no prisoner may receive parole before the maximum term
- Yes, because eligibility and entitlement have the same meaning
