Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 52 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]ime spent in residence in a residential community center ... as a condition of bail or bond ... is not creditable as jail time since the degree of restraint provided by the residence in a community center is not sufficient restraint to constitute custody within the meaning or intent of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3568.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Attorney General shall give any [person sentenced to prison] credit toward service of his sentence for any days spent in custody in connection with the offense or acts for which sentence was imposed.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“whether the deprivation of liberty by confinement in a halfway house is sufficiently like prison to be treated the same in deciding how long the convicted criminal should serve [ ] is not a question susceptible of rational determination, at least by tools of inquiry available to judges. It is a matter of judgement, or policy, or discretion.”
