  Free ice cream. “Receives $X years” Is an idiomatic way of expressing prison terms. Same kind of thing as saying “20 to life”.

    It might be idiomatic to you, but it looks bizarre to me. I am a native English speaker.

    I suspect this is a regional thing. I would never use this supposed idiom and it sounds very off to me.
