Prison for 11 years, realistically prison for 5 years and then a supervised release. It's not the end of the world. And she will still be able to see her kids by doing this.

No, Federal prisons aren't subject to parole or supervised release. There are limited credits for good behavior that max out at 15% of her sentence so the best possible outcome for her is serving 9 years and 7 months of her 135 month sentence. She won't be out of prison before 2033.

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.

  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.

It's a federal sentence so she will be doing most of the time assigned. Each year of good behavior gets up to 47* days taken off the prisoner's sentence. IIRC, these are awarded at the end of each year in prison, so you can't just calculate 11*47 to get the reduction as if she behaves, she'll only be in nine and a partial year. She'll miss out on those last two years of sentence reductions. * The law says 54 but in practice it's 47.
