It really depends on the individual facts surrounding your boyfriends situation, the county he is in, the Judge, and other things to even guess at how long he will have to serve. It also depends on if any further charges were brought against him.

You may be able to find him by looking online. A lot of the jails list the inmates by name or by a reference number. If you know the county where he was convicted, go to that counties web site for the jail. Then look for an inmate look-up or search. Sometimes you can find it on the Sheriff's department web site as well.

Good luck,
