English term

county time

English to French Law/Patents Law (general)
"And so he was looking at like 20 plus years of prison time, and he ended up getting no strike, no prison time. He only ended up getting six months county time, and he came home to be with his family and with his newborn baby."

Je ne trouve pas de référence relative à ce "county time". D'avance merci !

Six mois dans la prison du comté

Il faut à mon sens comprendre la phrase comme "county jail time".
"Jails are normally operated by a local government, usually a county government, and are used to hold people pending trial, or for shorter sentences of incarceration following a criminal conviction."
Selon le contexte, il pourrait donc s'agir de détention préventive ou d'une peine courte.

Peer comment(s):

disagree AllegroTrans : No. Important to distinguish prison from jail. In the US a jail is generally a county jail for sentences of less than one year; and "time" means incarceration in one or other of these, not being let home; that happened later.

disagree Daryo : basic slang can occasionally be useful - "doing time / getting time" = ending up in the slammer / the nick / Her Majesty's holiday camp ... // autrement dit "obligation de résidence ... dans la taule".
