In Colorado, there are determinate (known) and indeterminate (unknown) time periods in sentencing. If your son was sentenced to a maximum of thirty years for armed robbery - the question that you are asking is when would he be eligible for parole. Depending on the charges he was convicted of aggravated robbery - which is a class 3 felony; he would be required to serve at least the midpoint of the presumptive sentencing range. It would be best to look at the sentencing paperwork from the court.

That is the maximum sentence in Nevada. That is a shame for a first offense unless there are aggravating circumstances.
