/tɜrm əv ɪmˈprɪzənmənt ˈkrɛdɪtɪd təˈwɔrd əˈnʌðər tɜrm əv ɪmˈprɪzənmənt/ – Phrase
Definition: thời hạn ngồi tù được xác định có tính đến thời hạn tù đã định trước kia hay đã chấp hành xong.
A more thorough explanation: The legal term “term of imprisonment credited toward another term of imprisonment” refers to the period of time served in prison that is applied to reduce the overall length of a separate or subsequent prison sentence. This credit is typically granted when a person serves time in custody for one offense and that time is then deducted from the total sentence imposed for a different offense.
Example: The defendant’s previous six-month term of imprisonment was credited toward the new one-year sentence imposed by the court.
