Melanie McGuire is serving her sentence at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in Clinton, NJ.

She was sentenced to life in prison, with additional charges, so, under state law, she will have to serve 66 yrs before becoming eligible for parole. She was 34 at the time of sentencing, so she will be past her 100th birthday.

"Under the state’s No Early Release Act, a life sentence is defined as 75 years for purposes of calculating the term of parole ineligibility. McGuire must serve 85 percent of that sentence, or 63 3/4 years, without possibility of parole. She also must serve an additional period of 2 ½ years of parole ineligibility on the perjury charge, for a total of 66 1/4 years without parole. She gets credit for 140 days already served in jail. Judge DeVesa sentenced McGuire to 10 years in prison for desecrating human remains, but that sentence will run concurrent with the life sentence. By law, the weapons charge merged with the murder charge and carried no additional prison term." (http://www.nj.gov/oag/newsreleases07/pr20070719a.html)
