I don't think it's particularly different for men. It would just be based.... Quite frankly, in my representations at these hearings, I can't think of any case where a person serving life would achieve day parole on his day parole date. It's such a gradual process that, if you will, you're one application behind; you're going for unescorted passes, often, on your day parole date. You're going for day parole, which means release to a halfway house, on your full parole date. That's been my experience. In fact, I don't know of any cases where somebody would get out right on their dates, if they're serving a life sentence.
