Suge Knight does not have a fixed release date yet, but there is an eligibility date for parole. Current records indicate he cannot even be considered for release until the mid‑2030s.

Sentence and parole date

Suge Knight is serving a 28‑year prison sentence for voluntary manslaughter related to a 2015 fatal hit‑and‑run. Multiple recent reports note that he will not be eligible for parole until October 2034, meaning that is the earliest point at which a release could be considered.

What “earliest release” means

The October 2034 date is a parole eligibility date, not a guaranteed release date, so the parole board could deny parole and keep him in prison longer. His actual release will depend on factors like behavior in prison, risk assessments, and any future legal actions or appeals, which so far have not succeeded in shortening his sentence.
