On paper they can hold you about a month, but it can be longer than that with a judge’s signoff if they have proof of a crime. And in the US, jail can be up to just short of a year. This is typically where the police try to get you to confess to something and drag it out as long and uncomfortably as possible until you do, after which you either get to go free (though you end up on a list for a long time) or you may go to a “black jail”/黑監獄 which is a sort of under-the-table prison. The terms of release can also sometimes require completion of a rehabilitation program, which is often the voluntary alternative to prison, or getting transferred to a short stay detention center for a few months to perform community service. So pretty similar to the US. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago And in the US, jail can be up to just short of a year. I'd like to point out, 'proper' jail, for misdemeanor level offenses, is 'up to a year,' but I personally know individuals who have been in jail (where people awaiting trial stay, in addition to people convicted of misdemeanors) for over three years now, still waiting on their trial. permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (1 reply) [–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 child) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago That meme is working extra hard today but it's just so perfect for the occasion. permalink fedilink source parent
