how many days do you actually serve when you are sentenced to 120 days in county jail?
86904
For some reason I'd imagine it to be somewhere around 120 DAYS.

A person is entitled to "a fair and speedy" trial.  That means many people can be indicted the same day and others may have to wait longer due to the docket backlog at that particular court.  There is no 90-day rule.\n\nA person can be released on bail or held at the discretion of the court.

Depending on the amount and the circumstances, jail is in order. How long a sentence would depend on above, could be 20 to life.

Not fun...Texas is one of the harsher states in which to do time... you cannot have visits from anyone except immediate family, one phone call per month max is allowed, for most it is one call every 90 days, if calls are permitted at all, mail is heavily censored, the food is some of the worst in the nation (to the point that every few years the Federal courts step in to make them follow the law regarding food) and they have little in the way of educational or rehabilitative programs, so you're really just doing time, not improving your odds of staying out of trouble after release.\nI do not recommend serving a sentence in the lone star state.

Depends on the state but it's a serious crime in every state.  In my state it's 10 to 40 years and if you're a good inmate you only have to serve 85 % of if.

I live in Texas too.\nYou have a lot of capias profines there.\n\nSome Jails give you $100.00 a day credit --so you are looking at 15-20 days;however if you can make trusty status, the credit is increased.\nCall your county jail and find out. Even if your fines are municipal fines, I don't know if your city jail will keep you that long. Most transfer you to the county jail.\n\nYou look awful young......You have to be 17 years old & up to be booked into an adult facility.

John's answer is absolutely correct, though I'd add one thing to it.   Punishment for criminal offenses often is dealt out in different degrees.  In California, many crimes are punishable by an upper limit of days in county jail (example: up to one year in county jail, meaning a person could get no jail time, or up to a year in jail), or by a number of determined years in prison (2, 3, or 4 years, for example).  \n\nThere are many factors that determine the sentence handed out to the defendant, but you should expect to see the prosecutor argue for the upper limits of allowable punishment because, after all, police officers are supposed to be perfect (okay, I'm getting a little testy here) or at least not supposed to go around committing crimes.  It's hard to argue that a cop should be prosecuted and punished just like anyone else, because the cops are indeed supposed to be the people who enforce the law, not break it.\n\nBottom line: John's right, but you'd probably expect to see the prosecutor at least ask for harsher sentences for cops - and maybe even get them.

Filing a false report is a class c misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to 30 days in jail and $1,250 in fines. These sorts of things are often lowered to "violations" though, meaning that you would just pay a fine.

generally, its 72 hours. There may be exceptions particularly in relation to probation. At this point he can prpbably held based on the original sentence. Consult a lawyer

There never was half time, thats why they made a revision. It reads that for every 30 days in the Pokey you get 10 days good-time & 5 days earned time, or 15 days per month. It is not 15 days taken off your sentence, but rather 15 days added to your total time served.\nExample: For 30 days served... You get credit for 45... So when you are released, you get credit for serving your FULL sentence, even though you have only spent 2/3 of the time inside. The 5 days earned time is achieved by picking up some useless job, OR going to school while in the POKEY, the 10 days good time is just trying to stay out of trouble while there.

As most have said, jail is for short term housing.  Mostly people who are awaiting trial, or held for short term sentences\n\nPrisons are for long term incarceration.  Long sentences

Everytime I get arrested(which is quite often and matter of fact the last time was Wednesday...Just got out Thursday morning) I have my "First Apperance"(which is usually held inside the jail somewhere) the next day or two, which at First Apperance they give you the chance to bond out and sentence you. You don't get your 'real' court date(in the courthouse) until at least two weeks later, but sometimes it can take up to a month or more. It sounds like what happened to your friend is 1) He couldn't make bond 2) They didn't issue him a bond, which means he has to stay till his 'real court date' at that time they will either give him time served and let him out or give him probation or 3) He already went to court and has to do his time period
