Sentenced to three years. How many years do you actually have to go to prison?

Sentenced to three years, you will normally go to prison for three years, but you can apply for parole for good behavior during your sentence. Criminals are sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment with probation, and if there is no new illegal act during the execution period, half of the original sentence will generally be executed. Unless he has rendered meritorious service in prison, he can get a commutation, but the total commutation period cannot exceed half of the time he should serve. Therefore, even if you are sentenced to three years, you will have to serve at least one year and six months of reeducation through labor.

Commutation refers to a criminal law enforcement activity that appropriately reduces the original sentence. Commutation refers to a criminal judicial activity in which criminals who are sentenced to public surveillance, criminal detention, fixed-term imprisonment or life imprisonment according to law are put forward by the organ responsible for executing the punishment when there are legal circumstances for commutation, and the people's court commutes their sentences according to law.
