Would he ever be freed?

A former brutal African dictator son luckily got 97yrs behind bars at age about 28yrs after a USA federal jury unanimously found him guilty of crimes against humanity during his father's reign. The prosecution had wanted 147yrs lockdown (names withheld please)

My question is: Is he going to be automatically released half way his time  like UK does or is he going to be freed at the end of his 97yrs which means dying behind bars!  

Thank you in advance

    No automatic release.  A court in the US cannot convict him of crimes committed outside the US.

    Without names the WHERE I am guessing.  If the Judge said 97 years, no possibility of parole, he'll serve 97 years.

    But, again, WHERE?
