Uhh, not quite.

This doesn't mean that they can never leave prison. It's quite possible to be on parole with a life sentence: it just means that if you do anything, you'll be instantly returned and you'll have to go through the whole process again if you want to be paroled.
Life is dependant on the crime you've committed and the earliest point you're given the ability to apply for parole.
