At that rate, the water polo coach and the associate AD at SC will be in for decades.
That's somewhat misleading. Parole eligibility occurs after you've served one-third of the sentence, or six months. It might also be a maximum of 18 months. Journalists almost never get that right.
Actually, Congress eliminated parole for federal crimes effective in 1987, with a few minor exceptions. https://www.justice.gov/jmd/organization...commission
Vandemoer will not be eligible for parole. He can reduce his sentence by 15% with good behavior. So he will serve 15+ months.
