The actual time served for a two-year sentence can vary based on several factors, including the jurisdiction's laws, the nature of the crime, and any applicable parole or good behavior policies. In many cases, individuals may serve a portion of their sentence, potentially reducing their time in custody. For example, with good behavior, someone sentenced to two years may serve closer to 15 to 18 months. It's important to consult with a legal expert for specific cases.

A 120-month federal prison sentence is equivalent to 10 years. Generally, inmates serve around 85% of their sentence due to good behavior and other factors, so a person sentenced to 10 years may serve around 8.5 years in federal prison.
In Georgia, a person sentenced to 20 years in state prison must serve at least 17 years before becoming eligible for parole, which is typically about 204 months. However, this can vary based on factors such as the nature of the crime and good behavior. Ultimately, the exact time served before eligibility for parole can depend on individual circumstances and any applicable laws or regulations.
In Massachusetts, individuals serving a 1 to 2 year sentence may be eligible for parole after serving a portion of their time, typically around half of the sentence. This means you could potentially serve as little as 6 months on a 1-year sentence or 12 months on a 2-year sentence, depending on good behavior and other factors. Additionally, inmates may also have the opportunity to earn time off for good behavior, potentially reducing their time served further.
Apparently for the offense(s) he committed, 15 years would have been the total sentence but the judge reduced to to 10. That will now be the maximum sentence. Did the judge say that he had to serve 10 before eligible for parole? If so, he will have to serve the full 10 - less any "good time" he earns while in prison that (if he keeps his nose clean) should help reduce the sentence a little.
Typically, individuals sentenced to five years in prison will serve the full five years, unless they are eligible for parole or good behavior credits which may reduce the time served.
In federal prison, inmates typically serve about 85% of their sentence due to good time credits, unless they have a disciplinary infraction. For an 18-month sentence, this means the person would likely serve approximately 15.3 months. However, factors such as behavior and program participation can influence the exact duration. After serving their time, they may also be subject to supervised release.
