Projected Release Date

The projected release date is determined by the offense date and the nature of the offense. Offenses committed prior to September 1, 1996, that are by law eligible for mandatory supervision, will be released on their projected release date if they are not paroled.

Offenses committed September 1, 1996, or after, that are by law eligible for mandatory supervision, will be released at the discretion of the BPP. For inmates not approved for release by the BPP, or that are not eligible for mandatory supervision, the projected release date will be their discharge date.
