Alaska Supreme Court April 29, 1994, S-5336 (Smith v. State, Department of Corrections)

OPINION

MATTHEWS, Justice.

Once prisoners serve their sentences taking into account whatever time credits they have accumulated for good behavior they must be released.

1

Prisoners who have been sentenced to a term of two years or more are released to the custody of the parole board for a period equivalent to their accumulated good behavior time. This is called a mandatory parole release.
