Some types of charges don't allow for gain time, but most do. Most inmates can collect as much as 15% off their sentences with proper behavior. Certain actions, like getting a degree, can also add to gain time. Things that almost never happen, like saving the life of a guard, can cause even more than 15% to come off the sentence.

You can figure 16 months approximately minus any time he had in the county jail.
