Jail Credits Stop Once Sentences Begins
All jail credit stops once a person begins serving a sentence. This rule applies except when: the person is re-imprisoned for a violation of special parole and held in lieu of bond on new charges and the accused will get pre-sentence jail credit on the new file, unlike confinement for a violation of discretionary parole.
Also, jail credits do not stop if the accused is serving a sentence in another jurisdiction and brought to Connecticut pursuant to an Interstate Agreement on Detainers. The accused will get pre-sentence credit on the Connecticut file so long as there is an unposted bond.
