CUSTODY CREDITS
QUESTION
“I plead no contest on charges of welfare fraud and I got sentenced to 60 days(2days credit). How much of that time will I actually do?”
ANDREW’S ANSWER
LA County used to be notorious for early release, but penal code section 1170.18 (prop 47) effectively changed that; now, my clients are often doing their full sentences (which in your case is 30 actual days less actual time served). There is no way to tell if the sheriff will release you early. The worst case scenario is 30 days.
