    In The UK, for a sentence under 48 months the norm is to serve half and then the rest is on "licence".

    Occasionally, depending on the severity of the crime and the inmate behaviour, tagging maybe an option two months before the halfway mark.
    So, assuming they do EXACTLY as they are told, they could be out, on tag, after 14 months. Otherwise is is likely to be at 16 months.

    Which is why he needs to keep in contact with his solicitor and follow up with any programs they may have while in.
