When sentencing a defendant to prison, if the Court: 1) fails to state the number of jail credit days, or 2) the Court states the number of jail credit days but directs the prison to “verify” jail credit, the DOC will determine or verify jail credit by implementing a policy that does NOT allow credit for any time served other than ‘straight time’ (that includes denying jail credit for ‘work release’) even though defendants are lawfully entitled to such credit.
