Obtaining a guarantor pending trial may not serve as a term of criminal detention.
If a criminal suspect is held in custody before sentencing after being convicted by a people's court, the term of custody can be converted into a term of imprisonment, generally one day of detention is converted into one day of imprisonment.
However, obtaining a guarantor pending trial is not a measure of criminal detention, so obtaining a guarantor pending trial cannot be converted into a term of imprisonment. Only criminal detention, arrest, residential surveillance, etc. can be converted into a term of imprisonment.
[Legal Basis]
Article 44 of the Criminal Law states that the term of criminal detention shall be calculated from the date of execution of the judgment; If a person is held in custody before the execution of the judgment, one day in custody shall be equivalent to one day of the sentence.
