Manslaughter is defined as homicide without the intent to kill. For this reason, it is less serious than a murder charge, which will always lead to jail time if a conviction is made. However, there are different degrees of manslaughter, and while some always lead to jail time, others have a chance to enable you to avoid jail time. As always, it depends on the circumstances.
