It depends. Typically, a sentence includes the amount of time to serve in confinement and a portion to be served on probation. For example, and 8 year sentence may be called "8 do 5." In that case, the convicted would serve 5 years in confinement followed by 3 years on probation.

Further, some sentences are eligible for a reduction in time. This may range anywhere from "3 for 1 good time credit" where a defendant receives credit for three days for each day served to 90% of the full sentence.

Well, first off, it depends on if you can get parole, and second, what do you mean how much time? Do you mean hours, days, weeks, months, years, or decades? In reverse order, 1 and 7/10 of a decade, 17 years, 204 months, 884 weeks, 6205 days, give or take, and I cant tell you how many hours. So there you have it.
