Description
The primary question we resolve in this appeal is whether an individual, upon being incarcerated following a violation of parole, is entitled to credit for time that he served as a residential inmate in a community correctional facility. A secondary question that is posed is whether one who is committed to the state penitentiary is entitled to credit for pre-sentence confinement against both the maximum and minimum sentence. The district court, upon sentencing Jerry Ken Prejean (Prejean) after he violated his parole, refused to give him credit for the time served in the community correctional facility and also concluded that he should receive no credit for pre-sentence confinement against either his maximum or minimum sentence. We must reverse and remand the case with instructions to credit Prejean with all of his pre-sentence confinement, including the time served in the community correctional facility, against both the maximum and minimum sentence.
