California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Nunez-Sharp, B264843 (Cal. App. 2017):
11. We note that the right to parole is "a state interest created by California law. There is no right under the Federal Constitution to be conditionally released before the expiration of a valid sentence." (Swarthout v. Cooke (2011) 562 U.S. 216, 220.)
