Which duration corresponds to Class C felony?

• A. 20 Years to life
• B. 10-20 years
• C. 5-10 years
• D. 1-5 years

Answer: (C)

In Kentucky, felonies are organized into classes that map to sentencing ranges, so the class matches how long someone might be imprisoned. For Class C felonies, the standard imprisonment range is five to ten years. This places it between lighter crimes that carry about one to five years and more serious crimes that carry ten to twenty years, with the most serious Class A felonies ranging from twenty years up to life. While the exact sentence can be influenced by factors like the specifics of the case or prior record, the typical duration for a Class C felony is five to ten years.
