Bolin v. South Carolina Department of Corrections

Appellant Michael Bolin (Inmate) challenges a decision of the South Carolina Administrative Law Court (ALC) upholding a determination of the South Carolina Department of Corrections (DOC) that Inmate must serve eighty-five percent of his sentence before he is eligible for early release, discharge, or community supervision. Inmate argues that the eighty-five-percent requirement of section 24-13-150 of the South Carolina Code (Supp.2015) does not apply to any of the offenses to which he pled guilty because they are not considered “no-parole offenses.” We reverse the ALC’s decision.
