My question is, will he have to serve the entire term or can he get out early? I have heard of people getting two years but getting out much earlier, how does that happen?

It is a Pardon and Parole issue.
With prisons being overcrowded, your state Pardon and Paroles Department will review your nephews case and determine if he complies with the guidelines of good behavior and minimum time served to be eligable for early release.

Depending on where he was convicted, he may get out in half that time or less. The federal government now has sentencing guidelines and you do the sentence which you are given day for day. Most states still have a system whereby prisoners are given time off for good behavior (sometimes as much as one day for one day), time off for working and possibility of parole. If your state has these prisoner programs, most people usually end up doing about one half of their sentence.
Let him know that he can increase his chances for early release by taking advantage of any programs the prison offers. Drug counselling, employment training, education, etc. all look good to the parole board. A supportive family is also very important. One or two years will fly by and he will definitely need his family then. The important thing is to get him on track to not repeat when he gets out.
Best of luck to you.

rather? Did you even examine the object. the mummy, Spottedcrow, is up for parole in 2014 and he or she'll in all probability get it with an prolonged time on parole. They have been jailed for dealing and having babies with them on the time. while babies are in touch, I say the adults would desire to pay a cost. She merely had to make further money? Get yet another activity, smoke much less dope, tell that lazy husband to get a activity. They of course stay on the resevation, and those human beings are properly dealt with by way of the Feds. i be attentive to various people who proceed to exist reservations. No pity here.

Depends on the state, most have day for day good time where you only serve half the sentence,however if he was charged in Federal court he will serve about 85% of his time!~!

It all depends on how much he was trafficking and also on his behaviour inside. If he keeps out of trouble in prison he may get an early release.

Mine was sentenced for 5 years for driving without a license and drinking and driving then he knocked 3 children and one died and the other was badly injured.
And one police woman we know sad if his behavior is good in jail he can leave early.

A lot of jurisdictions count every day of good behavior as two days served. Talk to his attorney - and ask how to pull out all the stops.

What upsets me most about all this is drugs. The majority of inmates are in for drugs. These answers steer you in the right direction but how old is he and why is he even selling, should be your main concern.

It all depends on the justice system and his behavior in jail

Check with the DA who prosecuted him; he'll have the best idea.
