Does the jail term start counting from the date of arrest or date of judgment?

Thank you very much Ma'am.

But today I went to jail to check how many days are left to release my brother.

They checked the system and replied that he needs to spend 2 and half months more because days count from the day of judgment.

Please help me, I am so worried.

Dear U. S.,

If your brother was not on bail after the arrest, then days are counted from the day of arrest.

If he received bail after the arrest and only went to jail after the judgment, then the count begins from the day of the judgment.
