How much and what percentage of time Class A felony in Arkansas?

In Arkansas, a Class Y felony (the most serious, equivalent to a Class A felony in many other states) carries a sentence of 10 to 40 years in prison. There's no fixed percentage of time served; it depends on numerous factors including the judge's sentencing discretion, the offender's behavior in prison, and parole eligibility.

It's crucial to understand that there's no guaranteed percentage of the sentence served. While an offender might be eligible for parole after serving a certain portion of their sentence, parole is not automatic. The parole board considers several factors before granting parole, and it's possible for someone to serve their entire sentence.
