English question, please help.?

Suspended sentences are commonly imposed in order to alleviate the strain on overcrowded prisons. For example, an individual may be sentenced to a six months' jail, wholly suspended for one year. If they commit any other offence during that year, the original jail term is immediately applied.

So in this case he will have to be on good behaviour bond for two years and then serve his ten months jail term.

hope this helped
