“Absent legislative direction, we believe that a defendant is only entitled to credit toward sentence for pre-trial time served in a prison, jail or other facility which imposes substantially similar restrictions upon personal liberty.”
10 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“the credit toward the sentence a prisoner receives for time actually served.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[I]f an offender was entitled to credit for time served, the legislature would have provided that commitment after revocation was for the remainder of the offender's sentence, not for the entire sentence imposed. We believe that the legislature's distinction between the community corrections context and the probation context with respect to credit for time served extends to situations where a court imposes home detention as part of a community corrections program, a person is not similarly entitled to credit for time served as a condition of probation.”
