In the state of Massachusetts, there is not a classification of felony charges with corresponding penalties. Instead, each type of felony charge is addressed by individual criminal statutes which outline possible penalties. For example, manslaughter can carry a jail sentence of up to 20 years, while some forms of robbery and burglary can carry a sentence of up to life.
