What were Egyptian dungeons like?
Primitive, to say the least. A prison sentence however was at the time something you were very rarely convicted to. If as an ancient Egyptian you had committed a crime, you paid for it by physical punishment such as flogging or branding; or by being banished or put to death. Another very common punishment, even in the case of serious crimes, was being convicted to pay a hefty fine to the person(s) - or their surviving relatives - who were the victim of your crime. Prisons were in most cases only used to lock up a person until he was interrogated and convicted to one of the punishments mentioned above.

What is it called when some one is accused of something is facing 20 years but find a case of someone with the same crime but get 5 years?
If I understand the question you want to know why someone can be convicted of a crime and get a sentence of 20 years while another person convicted of the same crime only gets 5 years. If that is the case there were most likely mitigating circumstances. Judges also have a modicum of discretion when deciding sentencing while one person may receive the max sentence the other received a more lenient sentence. If 20 years is an unusually harsh sentence for the crime there is always a possibility to appeal the conviction or the sentence.
