A friend got sentence in California with a mister minor (domestic violence) and a felony (for vandalism over $400.00) the judge sentence him to two years in prison but since he has been in jail awaiting his sentence for three and a halve months the judge gave him seven months credit but I heard that if you do your time in prison that the calculation is different if anyone knows please let me know thanks in advance.

The word is "misdemeanor".
