Cosby is currently serving three to 10 years in prison after being convicted on three counts of aggravated indecent assault during his second trial.
He was recently awarded the right to appeal.
The actor has denied any wrongdoing and maintained his innocence. Cosby does not believe he will be granted parole.
“I have eight years and nine months left,” Cosby said in an interview with Black Press USA. “When I come up for parole, they’re not going to hear me say that I have remorse. I was there. I don’t care what group of people come along and talk about this when they weren’t there. They don’t know.”
