Concurrent Sentences

(1) Mixed Sentences. An inmate serving a sentencing structure that has any combination of house of correction and state sentences shall have the parole eligibility date for each component sentence determined. The latest occurring parole eligibility date shall control the parole eligibility date on the mixed sentencing structure. (2) Same Sentences. (a) House of Correction. An inmate serving concurrent house of correction terms shall be eligible for parole as provided in 120 CMR 200.02(1). The parole eligibility date for concurrent house of correction sentences shall be ½ of the total aggregate term of incarceration or two years, whichever is shorter unless the inmate is serving one or more minimum mandatory terms which exceed the two years. The parole eligibility for a house of correction inmate serving one or more minimum mandatory terms which exceed two years shall occur after the inmate has served a period of incarceration equal to the aggregate length of any minimum mandatory terms. (b) State Prison. An inmate serving concurrent state prison terms shall have parole eligibility determined by calculating the parole eligibility date on each component sentence as provided in 120 CMR 200.02(2) and determining which component carries the latest date. The latest date shall control parole eligibility for the aggregate sentencing structure.
