Nicodemo was sentenced in 2015 to 25 to 50 years,so in 2040 he could be out? Or can ask for parole first?

He was arrested in 2012; he's done a decade and will be eligible in 2037. Unless extraordinary circumstances, he has to do the full 25 prior to seeking parole; hence he must avoid earning any points (fighting, contraband) in prison. Cooperating now is useless as he is in a state court and already pled guilty.

14 MORE years is a longtime

This is what divide the real stand up men from the sissies.
