“The judge sentenced him to 360 years, but he will serve 25.” (USA)

This is not an exaggeration. This is a direct quote from a local news story about a really bad man who got caught doing really bad things. Someone, please, how we got from 360 to 25?!

It depends on the state. In Arkansas, for example, you generally serve 2 months for each year you’re sentenced. 36 month sentence = 6 months incarceration, and then 30 months of parole. 

Despite people saying certain areas are “soft on crime,” almost all of our county jails and state prisons are at capacity or overflowing, so they basically have to triage who stays and who goes based on severity of charges, flight risk, violence, etc.
