It is a maximum, but there is no minimum. The other problem we are targeting and that we were explaining is that in our system, time spent in detention before sentencing counts double and even, in certain places, triple. Therefore, we find ourselves with people who have been sentenced to 2 years, to 18 months, to 3 years, and because they have had to wait a year or a year and a half before getting to court, they are free the day after their sentencing.
