Question: How Long can you stay in prison?

Answer: The amount of time you stay in prison depends on the sentence for the particular crime you were found to be guilty of committing. For some serious crimes, a person can be given the sentence of life in prison without the option of parole, so they spend the entire rest of their life in prison.
