Why though? He was on worse than probation for the entire time he was in jail. Why doesn't that count as time served?

- pc86 8y agoIf you're incarcerated prior to sentencing, and you're sentenced to more incarceration, you get a little extra credit, such that a 1-month pre-sentencing incarceration prior to a year long sentence results in a ~10.5 month incarceration after. Incarceration and probation are two completely different things, something that everyone knows and cubano's post conveniently ignores until the end. The point of the credit is so that you can spend less time in prison if you've already spent time in jail prior. It is not to get you out of the system faster so a credit toward probationary time doesn't make any sense.
