Joseph went to prison for how many years?

It isn't specified in the bible the exact timespan of his prison sentence. He was sold into slavery when he was about 17. His owner's wife falsely accused him of trying to seduce her and he was jailed. When he was released from prison, he was 30 years old. So, we can assume he was jailed between 10-13 years. We know that Joseph was 17 when sold as a slave and that he was 30 years of age when he stood before Pharaoh. We also know that he dreamed about the sun, the moon and eleven stars, totaling thirteen heavenly bodies. These heavenly bodies were created on the fourth day of creation as signs for times and seasons and years. Therefore I believe that the first year of his slavery was, when he found favor in the eyes of his master, as the moon becomes full. During the second year in his master's house the wife of his master tried to seduce him, but his forbearance being as brilliant as the sun kept him from sinning. However the wife lied when she accused Joseph of attempted rape so that he was thrust into prison, where he spent eleven years (including the two that served as a heavenly punishment for trusting in a human to free hem). Thus the thirteen years are accounted for showing that he spent eleven years in prison. Shimsar

How many years was Joseph separated from his father and brothers?

It is uncertain but between 2 and 13 years, ~5 Years Joseph was in Potiphar's house and prison for a combined 13 years. He was in prison at least 2 years based on Gen 41:1. But if you read the narrative, it took Joseph a while to become chief of the prison, some time passed before the cupbearer and baker were sent to prison, some time passed while they were all in prison, and probably 2 years passed after the cupbearer and baker were released, which would indicate several years in total for Joseph.
