What is Custody Time?

Custody Time refers to the period during which an individual is held in legal custody, typically in a jail or prison, while awaiting trial or after being sentenced. This time can be considered when determining the individual’s overall sentence, potentially reducing the time they must serve post-conviction. The length of custody time can vary greatly depending on the nature of the charges, the legal process, and the jurisdiction’s laws and regulations.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Custody Time Percentage:

\[ \text{CTP} = \left( \frac{120}{365} \right) \times 100 \approx 32.88 \% \]

The Custody Time Percentage is approximately 32.88%.
