How much time does an non violent state inmate has to serve on a 12 year sentence

Depends on whether they have the opportunity to apply for parole at one-third of their sentence.

Depends on whether they have the opportunity to apply for parole at one-third of their sentence. This does not apply to all state inmates, but there are many more that have it than not. If there is not parole possible, they would do 85% of the imposed sentence.
