Prison sentences are usually stated in months. No idea why but it’s not unusual nor is an attempt to make anything seem longer than it is

- infecto 2y agoPure guess but days are too granular and years are too abstract. Months fit in nicely.
- mikeyouse 2y agoThe sentencing guidelines + enhancements are all in months - so the eventual sentence is reported in months as well. Months are granular enough to discern between 7 months and 17 months which would both be "1 year" but are much different sentences. https://www.thehardylawfirm.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Federal-Sentencing-with-markings-806x1024.png https://www.thehardylawfirm.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018...
