Jail or prison???  In jail, that person should already have a set release date.  he can kite the records office and ask what his scheduled release date it.  In prison, you are granted parole, usually, you get parole papers 3-6 months prior to release.  That is usually, there are a lot of different situations, but if it is normal parole, 3-6 months.

The jail wants to get them out in 2 days max.  They have a lot of people waiting to take their place.
