What is the mandatory prison sentence for a first time sexual offender? If they are being offered a plea deal of 8 years, would they have to serve the whole 8 years? Also, how can you get the DA to lesson the time when the paperwork shows it was a nonviolent act? If polygraph tests are not admisiple in court, why do they make people take them?

I am not an expert in criminal law but I would just like to express my personal observation if you would allow. If an offender is sentenced to a particular number of years in prison, usually the offender doesn't spend all the years in prison but if he shows good behavior, he will be on parole which means that he has a reduced number of years in prison. That is true in my country most of the time. If the offender has a bad behavior while in prison, he will get his sentence to the maximum number of years. I don't know well if polygraph results in my country is not acceptable in court. I hope to know more about it.
