I have a question about the time a prisoner spends in the jail. We see that people come out of jail much earlier than their time. For example if a man gets 10 years sentenc, he comes out of jail after six or seven years. Please tell me that how the sentence is reduced.

You will find the basis of computation of time in Jail Manual. Public Holidays are deducted from actual prison term.

And also the Government is having powers to release prisoners on certain occasions by reducing their jail period.
