My boyfriend is getting sentence for 20 days in kit sap county for misdemeanor theft does he serve the whole 20 days

1/3 of the time will come off as "good time", assuming he is "good." (no fights, etc).

Your boyfriend must have quite a history to serve twenty days for misdemeanor theft. As Ms. Campbell said, your boyfriend will do thirteen to fourteen days on twenty with good time. Additionally, if the judge agrees, some or all of the time may be converted to electronic home monitoring or some of the other types of jail alternatives Kitsap County offers.

I am guessing the other 2 attorneys who answered are more familiar with the Kitsap County Jail than I, but not all counties give the same amount of earned early release aka, good time. Whatcom County, for instance, only gives 15%. It might be worth contacting that jail to find the answer.

No necessarily. It will depend upon whether or not he has priors. Does he have a lawyer? Aaron M.
