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.

How long can you go to jail for manslaughter?

It depends on the state. Federal guidelines stipulates that the sentence is not to exceed six years. The only jurisdictions that federal guidelines apply though are in some federal jurisdictions, ships, or aircraft. In New York it can be up to 15 years, but in California it's a max of 4 years. For a juvenile it is usually around 36 to 136 months.
