10 Year Rule on Admissibility of Witness's Criminal Conviction (Impeachment)

FRE 609 (b) states: (b) Limit on Using the Evidence After 10 Years. This subdivision (b) applies if more than 10 years have passed since the witness’s conviction or release from confinement for it, whichever is later.
Maybe I'm misreading it, but wouldn't the release from confinement always be later than the conviction?
