I would imagine that when the other inmate find out about this person this will be a very long time for them.

5.5 years for law enforcement. Practically a miracle. I doubt very much they will serve that long.

Under the 40% rule that will apply to that crime he only needs to spend 40% of that sentence in jail so 2 years 2 months. As he has been held on remand since he was arrested in May 2022, he has already served his time so is probably due for immediate release under license.
