Under normal circumstances, a criminal suspect can be sentenced about six months after being detained, and it can be extended under special circumstances. When the public security organ transfers it to the procuratorate for examination and prosecution, the procuratorate shall make a decision within one month, which may be extended by half a month. In case of returning to supplementary investigation or other crimes, the above time limit will be recalculated. When trying a case of public prosecution, the people's court shall pronounce a judgment within two months after accepting it, and no later than three months. For a case that may be sentenced to death or an incidental civil lawsuit, it may be extended for three months with the approval of the people's court at the next higher level under any of the circumstances stipulated in Article 156 of the Criminal Procedure Law; Due to special circumstances need to be extended, it shall be submitted to the Supreme People's Court for approval. To sum up, a criminal case will be over in five to six months if it is not complicated and the case is simple. If it is more complicated, the longest probation period is about two years. In practice, the phenomenon of extended detention is very common. If this happens, it is necessary to hire a lawyer to appeal and apply for bail pending trial in time to safeguard the legitimate rights of the criminal suspect (defendant). After the court pronounced the sentence, the time spent in the detention center was deducted from the sentence period. If the sentence is less than one year, the remaining sentence will be served in the detention center, and the sentence will generally not be reduced in the detention center. If it exceeds one year, it will be sent to different prisons after a period of time according to the length of the remaining sentence. Those who serve their sentences in prison and meet the conditions of commutation, parole and medical parole may apply for commutation, parole and medical parole. Article 156 of the Criminal Procedure Law: After the arrest of a criminal suspect, the period of investigation and detention shall generally not exceed two months. If the case is complicated and cannot be concluded at the expiration of the time limit, it may be extended for one month with the approval of the people's procuratorate at the next higher level.
