As I understood GP's comment, these 120 people are offering to each take 1/120th of the jail time. As I understand your rebuttal, 120 people individually offered to take 1/2 of the jail time. I haven't read the article but you're arguing over the title and you seem to be assuming a different situation. Depending on which situation is true, the title is misleading or not. This info isn't in the title so you can't "simply misunderstood" that. The title definitely suggests 1 person offering to take 1/2 the jail time, and while that is congruous with 119 others offering the same (to take 1/2 the time), it would not be the same as offering to take 1/Nth. Then it would be misleading. If it's not misleading, then GP misunderstood the article or the article is unclear (not the title).
