Considering his age, he'll likely be in prison for the majority of the rest of his life (if not the entirety of it).

  for non-violent offenses, with good behavior you typically only serve 30-40% of your sentence (at least in iowa, my wife is a social worker and deals with people in the system).

    He was convicted in federal court, and in the federal system there's no parole and only very limited credit for good behavior. He'll serve at least 87.1% of his sentence[1] (barring unlikely events such as a successful SCOTUS appeal or a pardon). Most likely he'll die in prison -- old prisoners age quite quickly.

    That's because the prison system is overcrowded, in part because of the judge in question, so I'm not entirely sure he'd be given the same leniency.

      Maybe he'll get to meet with some of his old "friends" there?
