Some states make a year and a day the maximum amount you can spend in a county jail. Anything longer, and you go to a state prison.

Because prison is more expensive to the taxpayers, this allows for the maximum sentence without the added expense.


Max Hoopla
Makes it over a year so you can go to prison instead of jail.


Dan
1 year is also the common difference between misdemeanor and felony. If the crime could have been either, they may have sentenced to reflect the harsher felony


Agent 268
Probably something to do with what jail the person is sent to.

In Canada, convicted persons can recieve "2 years less a day" so that they are referred to a provincial prison rather than a federal prison (the "big house")
