It really depends on your state, I live in Ky, here you would pull just over 3 years of a 4 year sentence.
4 years is it that hard?
44 MONTHS
3months All of it Feds don't give good time.
Their sentence was 6 months. They are not ENTITLED to shorter time, but may EARN it by good behavior.
You will be in jail for 8 years, unless you are let out on parole or good behavior.
depends. >lets say the judge give you a 5-10 year sentence. you serve 5 yea and you could be let out at any time but if your not let out till ten years is up your out. >but if its a ten year sentence you serve ten years if you act good maybe you will be let out in 8th or tenth year
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.
Between 15-24 months for good behavior, generally 1/3 to 1/2 the sentenced time if its non violant probation violation.
It will serve a total of 49 months unless there is a program that will help thatched inmate qualify for early release or if the inmate qualify for 6 months in a half way house and can be dismissed before his 6 months for good behavior. It is good to cheek for any possibility of early release there is a lots of programs that we don't know about of course all is depending on etched type of felony
It's actually 66 percent. A prisoner sentenced to less than five years automatically gets a 50% reduction for 'good behaviour'. Any disciplinary action results in days being added on UP TO the whole sentence term (You cannot be held for longer than the total sentence) Sentences of five years and over, qualify for a 1/3 reduction. If you were sentenced to 11 years, you'd serve 7 years, 4 months without penalties.
If someone is sentenced to seven years in prison in Texas, it will vary how many years that may actually have to serve. If a person was charged with a federal crime, about 90% of the sentence will be served.
You are required to serve a minimum 85% on your federal sentence. You can qualify for up to 15% early release for good behavior. So, 85% of a five year sentence is the earliest one could get out of jail if convicted, which is about 4 years and 3 months.
You could serve 0 if your sentence is commuted or you are pardoned (and you accept) or you could serve to the max of 15 years. Commit further crimes while in prison and you could serve even longer. Most will probably serve less than the full 15 due to time off for good behavior or parole.
it all depends on your past and if u behave when u are in prison good time classes if the prison is over populated
