Its a joke of a sentence.
He'll be living in a halfway house and walking the streets 60 days from today!
A 24 month sentence means he will be eligable for full parole after serving one third (8 months) of his sentence. He will also be eligible for day parole 6 months before his full parole eligability....
From Corrections Canada website...
Quote:
Day parole (DP) gives you a chance to participate in community-based activities while serving your sentence (e.g. employment, volunteer work, studies). This will p repare you for release on full parole or statutory release. While on day parole, you must return to your community-based residential facility at the end of each day. You must meet regularly with a Parole Officer.
For day parole , most offenders are eligible 6 months before their full parole eligibility date.
Full parole (FP) lets you serve the rest of your sentence under supervision in the community. While on full parole you are normally allowed to live on your own but you'll need to report to a Parole Officer on a regular basis.
For full parole , most offenders are eligible at 1/3 of their sentence , or 7 years , whichever is less.
