Section 290.3 - Effect of lcta on the sentence

In the case of an eligible A-I inmate or persistent offender serving an indeterminate sentence with a maximum life term, such inmate may be eligible for release on parole six months before his or her parole eligibility date. In the event such an eligible inmate has appeared before his/her Initial Parole Board, been given a reappearance date and thereafter receives an LCTA certificate, then that information will be forwarded to the Parole Board, which can then carefully weigh this achievement at the inmate's next parole reappearance hearing. In the case of any other eligible inmate who is serving either a determinate or indeterminate sentence, such inmate may be eligible for an LCTA conditional release six months before the regular conditional release date.
