Non violent criminals serve their time, and get "good time"/time off for being "good"..so lets say you , eman gets 5 years for doing something non-violent, convicted by the state(not federal/ and not in washington dc) the DOC(department of corrections) --depending on the state--- you would be eligible for early release/probation/supervised released/parole, or some combination of the above mentioned. and be home in less than 2. 2 1/2 if you a wild arse...
FEDS....you serving 85% regardless, and life means life, not like in the state, where dude comes home after 20 serving life...
washington dc , there is no state court, just federal
