People say they're tough on predators now, but it seems like pretty often there's a story you'll see on the news that says "he only served one year of a ten year conviction, was out on parole, and committed another rape of another minor."

It varies by state, but typically during sentencing a judge will outline the terms. As in, "you're sentenced to 5 years in jail with a possibility for parole after X days." The X can vary by state depending on parole guidelines. For federal court, there is no parole. I think for most states, they have different percentages for violent and non-violent offenses, but that's just an assumption on my part. I.E., 60% of the sentence for violent and 40% for non-violent.
