How Does a Post-Conviction Petition Work in Prison?

How does a petition of post conviction work. The inmate i know had got a life sentence all suspended but 63 years but now he is talking about he will be home very very soon.

A post-conviction petition challenges a sentence or conviction after all appeals are exhausted, typically on grounds like new evidence, ineffective counsel, or constitutional violations. Success rates are low and a 63-year sentence does not shorten significantly without extraordinary legal grounds
