Holmes was charged with a federal crime and there is currently no parole for federal crimes. [0] She will do almost all of the 11 years. There is a good conduct reduction, which caps out at 54 days a year, so it's possible she could get out in 9 1/2 years. [1]

Doesn't need to be parole. It could be home confinement under the CARES act.

Michael Conahan from kids for cash was sentenced to 17.5 years and only served 10 before being allowed to go to home confinement - I'm sure Elizabeth can find a way.
