Amount of time to serve?What is the name of your state? CA I hope an easy question. I want to know how much time actually needs to be served. An example, if sentenced to 90 days, how much actual time needs to be served? |

| You would most likely get good time , if you're good . You might serve 2/3 ' s the sentence , or maybe CA is different .

| It depends on what county you're in. In L.A., under Sheriff Baca, defendants usu do 10%-20% time on a non--violent crime. Supposedly, they're serving longer % for violent crimes... I've seen a defendant do 14 days on a violent felony; sentence was 365 days (defendant was back in court on new offense). Who runs the county jail ? It's their decison, affected by over-crowding, staffing, etc. State prison time is longer in CA - depends upon the crime (some are 50% crimes, others 80 or 85%). I'm sure Maricopa County, Arizona, does day-for-day time. |
