While I can't vouch 100% for other countries, in France, "preventive" jailtime (that served before sentencing) is definitely counted toward time served, I don't see why other countries should do otherwise, the more so that if they did not, time served before judgment would be actionable as wrongful imprisonment.

normally it's a 2 for 1. 2 days for every one served

It does in England, then you get out after serving only a fraction of your sentence anyway. Don't know why we bother jailing anyone..

I've never heard of a case yet where the defendant did not get credit for time served.

Usually, as does any other time you spend in custody after your arrest, at least in some states, can 't say about all of them.

Yes, it would. Unless you're sentenced for life.
