87 months in jail is equivalent to 7 years and 3 months. This is a typical way to express this length of a jail sentence in years and months. For context, 87 months has been a sentence length given in high-profile federal cases, such as the 87-month prison sentence given to former Congressman George Santos for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
So, if someone receives a jail sentence of 87 months, it means they are sentenced to serve in prison for just over seven years.
