He will probably have to sit there for a week or so until a magistrate judge sees him. The judge will want to know why he's violating a court order. If the judge believes his answer, he will probably be released shortly. If your boyfriend is defiant and unrepentant, he could sit there for months... for contempt of court. The judge must protect the rights of the person that your boyfriend is bothering. There is no actual sentence time. Just as long

If they say he gets out on 3-23-20, that is less than three years so it appears they've included the good time credits all inmates get at the beginning of their bid.

Since we do not know all of the specifics of the case, we would be making a wild guess as to why. Here are some thoughts. Past criminal history is a big factor, and so is going to trial and losing (prosecutors seek the highest possible sentence if they have to take the case to trial). If "conspiracy" was part of the charges, that might increase the sentencing guidelines.

If your inmate got a 24-month sentence in state prison, there is a likelihood that they were granted "good time" credits before the sentence started. The norm is 15%. If that is correct, then the inmate serves 85% of 24 months or 20.4 months. If they have already served 11 months, there are less than 10 months remaining.

He caught a charge, then got bail, then got caught stealing a car? We don't know what the first charge was so it makes guessing harder. Plus we need to know is past criminal history and if he's been in before. There are several determinates that make up the sentence. Just a guess, if there are no priors... 2-3 years

Manafort will get a longer sentence because he went to trial and lost. The government will file a PreSentence Report to the judge and try to pile on as much time as they can, maybe asking for 20 years - which really adds to the drama. There are sentencing guidelines which federal prosecutors push to the high side of the range - understanding that they get graded on how much time their "wins" bring. It's a shitty system, but its

The old charges are the problem. The judge will look at priors and that this offender apparently doesn't take the protection order seriously. He could sit for a while with no bail before they even determine what they are looking to offer him. Please remember we are just guessing from the limited information in the question above.

He can apply for transfer, but normally that requires both jurisdictions and the judge agreeing to it. The compelling argument from the probationer is having a stable residence and legal/approved employment in Bakersfield.

Was this sentence related to a probation/parole violation? Normally, a 100% sentence is related to that - where the first act of leniency by the courts was not heeded, there is no second chance at freedom. If this is the Judgment and Commitment paper signed by the judge on the original case, then he will be entitled to the "automatic 15% good time credit" allotted to all inmates when they begin their bid. The inmates can only lose this by not

Minimum she will do is six years and the maximum is 20 years. If she does what she is supposed to do, while incarcerated, namely following the rules and programming recommendations. If she keeps herself out of trouble, she could be paroled in six years of so, pretty short sentence for manslaughter (i got 8 years for theft of marketing emails - no money lost, no money made from the crime - 8 years, federal prison).
