He was charged federally, and federal prisons don't do parole. If he was sentenced to 20 years, he'll do most of those 20 years.

Federal prison does do time off for good behavior. 54 days off per year, so a 20 year sentence would at best be cut to about 17 years.

If you have a life sentence you're not eligible.
