Formula for an inmate that receives a consecutive sentence while serving time on an undischarged sentences from another jurisdiction (such as another state or federal).

Pursuant to Penal Law §70.25 (4) for crimes committed after 9/1/75, sentences concurrent with undischarged terms in other jurisdictions were permitted. The commitment must state the sentence is concurrent; otherwise, it is deemed to be consecutive. The concurrent New York State sentence begins to run when an individual is returned to the custody of the other jurisdiction; if this date is unknown, the NYS date sentenced is used.* Prior time credit is received on the minimum term for time from commencement of the sentence in the other jurisdiction to commencement of the New York State sentence. For crimes committed before 10/1/95, subject can only receive prior time credit if the other jurisdiction's sentence is indeterminate.

In order to be considered for parole, an individual must meet the New York State Parole Board face-to-face [Executive Law §259-I (2)(a)]. Thus, he cannot be paroled while incarcerated in another jurisdiction. He can, however, be conditionally released while still in the other jurisdiction's custody by securing a favorable adjustment report.

*The concurrent New York State sentence begins to run when an individual is returned to the custody of the other jurisdiction; if this date is unknown, the NYS date sentenced is used.

Formula for an indeterminate returned absconder/AWOL/escapee with a consecutive determinate new term.

To compute the Parole Eligibility date, add 6/7 of the determinate term to the prior indeterminate minimum time owed, if any.

To compute the Maximum Expiration date, add the determinate term to the prior indeterminate minimum time owed, if any. Add the prior indeterminate maximum time owed to the date received, and whichever is longer controls.

To compute the Conditional Release*, use the controlling Maximum Expiration date.
The good time is 1/7 of the determinate term plus the good time from the prior term.

*Penal Law §70.40 (1)(b)(ii) prohibits inmates from being eligible for CR before they are eligible for parole, so the CR date is slid back to the PE date and the good time is correspondingly reduced.

Formula for an inmate received with an indeterminate sentence that subsequently received an additional consecutive determinate term.

To compute the Parole Eligibility date, add 6/7 of the determinate term to the later of the prior Parole Eligibility dates or the additional sentence date.

To compute the Maximum Expiration date, add the determinate term to the later of the prior Parole Eligibility dates or the additional sentence date. Compare this to the prior indeterminate maximum expiration date; whichever is longer controls.

To compute the Conditional Release* date, use the controlling Maximum Expiration date.
The good time is 1/7 of the determinate term plus 1/3 of the indeterminate maximum term.

*Penal Law §70.40 (1)(b)(ii) prohibits inmates from being eligible for CR before they are eligible for parole so the CR date is pushed back to the PE date and the good time is correspondingly reduced.

WARNING! If the client previously received 'Good Time' on his previous sentence s/he will not be given this credit again on that previous sentence. S/he will get 'Good Time' credit on her/his current 'Additional Sentence'.Therefore, please deduct this 'Good Time" and adjust/extend his/her 'Maximum Expiration Date' accordingly.

Formula for an indeterminate returned absconder/AWOL/escapee with a consecutive determinate new term and indeterminate new term. The new terms are concurrent with each other but consecutive to prior term.

To compute the Parole Eligibility date, add 6/7 of the determinate term to the prior indeterminate minimum time owed, if any. Add the new indeterminate minimum term to the prior indeterminate minimum time owed, if any. Whichever is longer controls.

To compute the Maximum Expiration date, add the determinate term to the prior indeterminate minimum time owed, if any. Add the new indeterminate maximum term to the prior indeterminate maximum time owed. Whichever is longer controls.

Compute the good time twice; compare them, and whichever is greater must be subtracted from the controlling Maximum Expiration date.
Add 1/7 of the determinate term to the good time from the prior term.
Add 1/3 of the indeterminate term to the good time from the prior term.

*Penal Law §70.40 (1)(b)(ii) prohibits inmates from being eligible for CR before they are eligible for parole, so the CR date is slid back to the PE date and the good time is correspondingly reduced.

Formula for an indeterminate returned parole violator with a consecutive determinate new term and indeterminate new term. The new terms are consecutive to each other, and consecutive to the prior indeterminate time owed. To compute the parole eligibility date, add 6/7 of the determinate term and the new indeterminate minimum term; then subtract the jail time, add the prior indeterminate minimum time owed, and add the date received.Compute the Maximum Expiration dates twice; compare them, and whichever is longer controls. To compute the first ME, add the determinate term and the new indeterminate minimum term; then subtract the jail time, add the prior indeterminate minimum time owed, and add the date received. To compute the second ME, subtract the jail time from the new indeterminate maximum term; then add the prior indeterminate maximum time owed, and add the date received.
