In New York, misdemeanors are punishable by a jail sentence. This can be up to 1 year in local jail (Rikers Island in NYC) for a class “A” misdemeanor, or up to 90 days in jail for a class “B” misdemeanor. Non-criminal violations, such as Disorderly Conduct, are also punishable by up to 15 days in jail.
For many first-time misdemeanor offenses in California, judges will impose probation, community service, fines, or classes instead of jail time. The maximum sentence for misdemeanors is one year in county jail. But incarceration for the full year is rare, especially for minor first offenses.
