Do they count a full day or just 12 hours as one day in Ajman jail?

My husband has been in Ajman jail for 3 years and 6 months. Can you tell me if they count a full day or just 12 hours as one day?

I heard that one day in jail counts as two days.

Please help me.

Thank you so much!

Dear Questioner,

What they say is not true.

Perhaps they mean that 19 days in prison count as one month and that is right.

Thank you so much for your help, sir!

Yes, I heard that someone was sentenced to 42 months in jail, but because days and nights are counted as two days in the UAE, he will only have to stay in jail for 21 months. Is this true?

It is not about night and day. If a person is sentenced to one month in prison, he is imprisoned for 19 days.
