how long is the sentence for possession of steroids

My boyfriend was sentenced to 18-36 months for steroid possession. He's never been convicted of a drug offense before how long will he actually serve?

The sentence range sounds like a state charge (not federal).

The sentence range sounds like a state charge (not federal). If that is correct, then he will have some early release options that could have him out as soon as 18 months on parole/probation if he keeps his record clean while in there. If he gets incident reports and has issues with authority, he could do the whole three years.
