The courts do not decide what level of security you are incarcerated under when you are sentenced to prison. The courts prescribe a certain amount of time and the prisoner is remanded to prison to serve that time. The security level or the level of the facility is determined by the Department of Corrections of your state. This usually depends on the crime that you've been convicted of, and, most importantly, how much time you have left to serve. Your mental and physical health may also have an impact on what level of security you will be assigned to.

Go to a law library and do some research into some cases and find information, called discoveries, and you will see that it's not a one-size-fits-all answer. Also, be aware that homicide is different from vehicular homicide; aggravated vehicular homicde is, again, different. Each charge carries different plays in court.
The mandatory sentence for vehicular homicide varies by jurisdiction, but it often includes a minimum prison term. In many places, it can range from a few years to over a decade, depending on the circumstances, such as whether the driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
