If convicted with no priors you will probably not do any time other than what you did when you were booked. Restitution, court fees, probation fees, community service etc. are more likely in your future. Incarcerating inmates is an expensive proposition, in my home state it costs more to lock up one inmate for a year than it costs me to support a family of six. Most jurisdictions prefer that non violent offenders pay them. That's hard to do if someone is locked up. Depending upon your locations laws you may even be eligible to expunge the felony from your record in the future. Tell the truth, stay clean and you should come out fine.
