On a 21 month sentence, you will serve 18 1/2 months.
One year in jail refers to serving a period of 12 months or one calendar year in prison. It is commonly used as a unit of measurement for sentencing guidelines and can vary depending on the jurisdiction.
All incarcerated individuals, except those serving Life sentences, have a conditional release date equal to either one-third (1/3) off their maximum sentence for indeterminate sentences and one-seventh (1/7) off their maximum sentence for determinate sentences.

The most serious level of house arrest is "home incarceration", under which an offender is restricted to their residence 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for court-approved treatment programs, court appearances, and medical appointments.
