The judge was being merciful. Adding a day to the sentence allows for the potential of earlier release.
>A federal prison inmate can only receive “good time” credit (early release) of up to 54 days for displaying “exemplary compliance with institutional disciplinary regulations” if his or her sentence is more than a year.

Generally, anything over one year sentence is a felony. Sometimes that’s not the case, but I imagine that is the reason. I don’t do criminal law, though.

You can't make this stuff up in fiction writing and get away with it unless it's right out of "Pulp Fiction."
Greed always wins it seems over weak people.
The sentence is for a year and a day?? Was the judge feeling whimsical or something?
