You have to keep calling the facility, ask to speak to a counselor, the chaplain, the nurse... the warden's secretary. Someone will eventually listen to you and get you the information on your husband.

Florida gives 15% good time credits at the beginning of their sentence. Parole is set by the judge at the time of sentnecing. If the judge allows for parole, then the offender will be eligible to apply at the 1/3 mark in their sentence.
