If my inmate is sentenced to two years and has good behavior when will he get released

In federal prison and most of the state prison systems, the inmates are given their good time credit upfront.

In federal prison and most of the state prison systems, the inmates are given their good time credit upfront. This is normally 15% off the sentence. So, if your inmate has 24 months, the good time drops that down to 20.4 months. There are no other ways to carve time off your sentence.
