Suspended jail sentence..???

[Paco]

I always wonder what it means ...

Suspended jail sentence.. I try to look it up but no luck..

 

Does it mean they will be sentenced on a later date?

[Fluke]

No, you get given a jail term , but you dont have to serve the time in jail .

You are allowed to go free on the condition that you don't commit any offence whilst free for the duration of your prison term and if you commit any offence at all , you will serve the original sentence and the sentence of your new crime 

[TJJ]

does anyone know if a UK citizen on a suspended jail sentence can apply to be returned to UK to complete the suspended sentence ?

Ask your lawyer.

Or: dismissed.
