Are these numbers based on actual sentences or are they just made up? If you got 20 years for robbing a bank you would serve 10 years in prison and 10 years on licence. Unless theres a reason for that licence to be revoked.
When given a life sentence you also get a minimum term spent in prison. The average prisoner given a life sentence spends 16.5 years in prison. That was from 2018 stats.
You know something, growing up when I stated above up and having to watch the news as my dad was till it was done and I could then change channels to watch cartoons or such (one TV in the home back in those days) so I did pick up some stories and those numbers stuck in my head along with the IRA and Moors murders frequently in the news (even though the later was was years before).
This topic is about cats being killed BTW so I am done with this convo.
