That depends on whether you were granted good time etc.? Up to 24 months.

If this is a split sentence, you will do one year.

That depends on whether you got a 2 year definite sentence or a 2-4 indefinite sentence. The prison will tell you your parole hearing date and good time. If you got a definite sentence you serve 6/7 of it.

It depends upon the sentence and the judge. Sometimes people get 1/3 off the sentence for "good time". So figure at least 18 months.

Depends on the charge and whether or not there were any enhancements and/or priors included in the conviction.
