If he received 180 days chances are he is not a credit restricted felon. He most likely will receive two-for-one credit time. That translates to 90 actual days from a sentence imposed a 180 days. If he had any credit time coming to him, for example from when he got arrested, that time is deducted from his sentence. So, if he served one actual day in jail on the night he was arrested, he would have to serve 89 days after being sentenced, as an example. Good luck.

It depends on two things: 1) the level of offense, and 2) when the offense occurred. If the conviction was for a misdemeanor, he will receive day for day credit (so 90 real days). If it was a D felony committed before July 1st, 2014, he will receive day for day credit (90 real days). However, if it was a level 6 felony committed on or after July 1st, 2014, he will have to do 75% of the time (135 real days).
