How can you still be on parole if you max out all of your sentence my man was sentenced to 8yrs did all 8 but they still want him to be on parole?

Answer

In many states, every prison sentence is an "indeterminate sentence", meaning that once the judge assigns the felon to the department of corrections, the parole board gets to make every decision. Typically that doesn't happen unless the inmate has been abusing the system. If you really want to know why, ask the parole board.
