The following year he was sentenced to 70 years in prison. Once convicted Lucas provided evidence that led to more than 100 further drug-related convictions.

This varies from state to state. While some states will release you after you've completed at least a third of your term, other states have laws which state that one must complete at least 85% of it his prison sentence, which may include only for violent offenses, or, as in the case with Florida and federal incarceration, for all felony offenses. But for states that allow them, prisoners are eligible for gain time, time off for good behavior, and other early release incentives they must earn, which can take off a substantial amount of prison time.
