YES,,, IT WORKS LIKE THIS,, HOWEVER IF YOU ARE NOT ELGIBLE FOR HALF TIME, THEN YOU ARE MANDATORY TO SERVE 80% OF YOUR TIME..\n\nNOW IN YOUR CASE.\nYOU WERE SENTENCE TO 730 DAYS (legaly they don't use the term in years) WITH 273 DAYS CREDIT WICH LEAVES YOU WITH \n457 DAYS AND OUT OF THOSE DAYS, YES YOU WILL DO 1/2 TIME IF YOU ARE ELGIBLE WICH MEANS YOU HAVE A REMAINING OF 226 DAYS IN YOUR SENTENCE.

Not prison but up to 6 months in the jail in the county in which you are convicted, along with an extension of the loss of your liscence and as much as two grand in fines... for your first driving on a suspended offense, after that it gets worse.\nI am my roommates chauffeur because he lost his liscence for an extra year over exactly this issue and did 7 days in jail plus 3 months of house arrest... That was a joy, having the sheriff call several times a day and drop by at random 4 to 6 times a week to verify that he was where he was supposed to be.

I've always been of the understanding that a deferred sentence means that; if a person is found guilty of an offence they can be sentenced to say one year in prison deferred for a period of two years. And what that means is that if during that period of two years (the probationary period) no further offence is committed, the one year sentence will not be applied. Converseley, if within that two year period a further offence is committed then the original sentence is automatically added to whatever sentence is given for the later conviction.\n\nSo. If Mr Smith steals a car and is found guilty of the crime, he is sentenced to one year in prison deferred for two years. If in that two years he is found guilty of stealing a second car and is sentenced to one year in prison for that crime, he will go to prison for two years. If in the same two years he doesn't steal another car or commit any other offence, he doesn't go to prison at all.\n\nIGNORE THE ABOVE\n\nSorry young lady I got this wrong. I was confusing deferred conviction with suspended sentencing. They are similar but not the same. I checked with one of my colleagues today and the definition you are looking for is as follows:\n\n'Deferred adjudication is available in some jurisdictions for certain offenses. It often involves probation, treatment programs, and/or some type of community supervision. If all the conditions of probation are met for the allotted time handed down by the court, the offender can avoid a formal sentence, and in some jurisdictions, no permament record of the crime will be made. Typically, at the end of the probationary period the charge will be dismissed and no record of conviction will result. Deferred adjudication may be available to eligible defendants upon recommendation by the prosecutor or at the discretion of the court'.\n\nSorry for the error. Slight difference between UK law and US law. I Hope I didn't cause you too much inconvenience.\n\nMy apologies also to the person who posted first and then withdrew after I posted. His answer was nearer to being correct than my first effort was.

It differs by state, but in general, once the holding state has been notified they will hold the inmate for the period requested by the extraditing state, regardless of how long that period is.  The length of the period is the 'usual and customary' period allowed by the courts in the extraditing state.  If they are going to exceed their requested period then they will request an additional period from the court in the state where the inmate is being held.  If the crime is a felony the request will be granted.\n\nIt sounds like you better get an attorney.  The bottom line is that it is very rare that an inmate gets released once another state has filed an extradition  request.

It depends on what state you live in, what sort of plea bargain you work out, your criminal history, etc.

Probation continues until the last day of the originating sentence time.  So if the person was to serve 2 years for the conviction, for example, and the person is released on parole after a year and a half, then probation only continues for another half year.  So it is determined by the sentence time imposed by the court.

Usually, it will be somewhere in the vincinity of a 2nd-4th degree felony, and each time you do it it is a new charge.  So, unless you want to spend alot of time in jail, don't do it

I was convicted for possesing drugs, I was sent to prison for 14 months, while I was in there, there was a guy who  assaulted his girlfriend, then drove around drunk with his 8 month old baby in the car. He was only sentenced to 6 months. It was so sad cause I got there 2 months before he did, and he was set free before I got out. Keep in mind that this was my first offense of any kind, (except traffic tickets). This is just one case, I could tell you a whole bunch of other cases that were Obviously worse than mine, and they got less time than I did....there is no such thing as justice in America!

Well it depends. Maybe 6 to 8 years. You could get out before then. It all depends on the jury. good luck!

This depends on the state you are in and the judge that you get. There is a range of sentences, and it varies by state.

The person is supposed to serve at least 25 years in prison. That's the minimum if they behave perfectly. For everything they do wrong, that is against prison rules, they get more time added on and can possibly spend the rest of their life in prison.

A class C or 3rd degree felony means they can recieve 2-10 years in prison. More likely though, especially if this is a first offense, they will get probation from 2-10 years.

I'm sure there's a minimum and maximum sentence... and those would likely be dependant on the laws of the state.  Most states are probably similar, but you should consult with the laws of the state you are in.  \n\nIn actuality, the number of years you would get if convicted would be determined by the judge at sentencing time.  It would be no more than the maximum sentence.. unless there were more charges or multiple counts.

Depends on which state and what you're convicted of......and how well you do at keeping your nose clean in there...in wide numbers, you could serve anywhere from 35% to 100% of your sentence...go to http://www.prisontalk.com and look in the appropriate state forum to get the details for your state and the charges.
