Bank robbery is a Federal crime, so the punishment is not location specific. Typically, a bank robber faces at least 10 years in prison, more if a weapon is used.

It depends on what offences you are actually charged with. You could expect a minimum of one 1st degree felony and a handful of misdemeanours, so maybe 10-15 years.

Well it depends on how much you stole. You can basically get anywhere from 1-5 years and it depends on what your past record was. If you constantly steal you can have basically 10 years of prison on the spot. You might also have to return all the stuff that is stolen.

It completely depends on whether or not you are a first time offender, if violence was used, if a gun was used, etc. The ranges however generally are between 10-100 years, and obviously the amount of time you would get would matter on all of the criteria mentioned above.
