    It would extend the time spend in prison, not the sentence. The sentence is the maximum time someone can be held in prison. This is not extended. Parole rules determine the minimal possible time someone has to spend in prison. This is what changed.

    I’m clearly not defending anything here, just explaining what happened. Don’t confuse people by mixing legal terms.

      Ah, you’re a world of imagination type. Sorry, I operate in real world effects, not in theoretical constructs that are totally different except for in what they actually do.
