The interruption shall continue until the person is returned to the institution from wMch he escaped or to an institution admmistered by the Department of Corrections. Time spent in actual custody prior to return under tMs subsection shall be credited against the sentence if custody rested solely on an arrest or surrender for the escape itself.”

2. “does not provide credit against the prior sentence where the defendant is indicted on a charge of escape. Here, the 72 days spent at the Metro Detention Center was the result of the indictment for second- degree escape, and thus credit for that time would be given against the sentence for conviction of second-degree escape, KRS 532.120(3), but not against the sentence being served at the time of the escape.”
