How long you serve a 20 year sentence depends on your location. If you are in the United States and in a State under The Federal Civil Rights Law, you will serve 85% of your sentence. In other states you may serve as little as 1/3 of the time.
In the federal prison system, an inmate must serve at least 85% of his sentence. This means, for a 20 month sentence, that the inmate must serve at least 18 1/2 months before he can be eligible for release. Of course, his actual release can be affected by how much gain time or administrative time he actually receives or is forfeited for misconduct.
All of it except for 54 days a year and possibly 30 to 90 days in a halfway house at the end of the sentence.
In 2005, she served a year long prison sentence for lying to a jury.
Malcolm X did serve time in jail. He served a total of 7 years from his 10 year sentence for burglary and larceny.

It depends on the original sentence. If the original sentence was greater than one year and one day, your will serve your time in a state penitentiary. If the sentence was less than one year, you may serve it in a county jail, but the judge could mandate prison.
You ewill have to serve only two years.

How was the sentence imposed? (i.e.- a 2 year sentence - serve 60 days with the remainder suspended? -OR- the ENTIRE 2 years sentence suspended?) It all depends upon the wording of the judge's decision.
It depends on the judge. He could make him serve six years in prison. Or he could sentence him to an additional year (or more) in jail.
The answer would probably be one year!
90 days in jail
The maximum jail sentence for a misdemeanor that will be served in a county jail is one year.
