921.0017 Credit upon recommitment of offender serving split sentence.Effective for offenses committed on or after January 1, 1994, if an offender’s probation or community control is revoked and the offender is serving a split sentence pursuant to s. 948.012, upon recommitment to the Department of Corrections, the court shall order credit for time served in state prison or county jail only, without considering any type of gain-time earned before release to supervision, or any type of sentence reduction granted to avoid prison overcrowding, including, but not limited to, any sentence reduction resulting from administrative gain-time, provisional credits, or control release. The court shall determine the amount of jail-time credit to be awarded for time served between the date of arrest as a violator and the date of recommitment, and shall direct the Department of Corrections to compute and apply credit for all other time served previously on the prior sentence for the offense for which the offender is being recommitted. This section does not affect or limit the department’s authority to forfeit gain-time under ss. 944.28(1) and 948.06(7).

    During defendant's original incarceration in the Department of Corrections, his 26.8 month sentence was shortened by 175 days of gain time. Section 921.0017, Florida Statutes (1995), provides:

  3. Hardenbrook v. State

    953 So. 2d 717 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2007)   Cited 9 times
    In addition, Mr. Hardenbrook argues here as below that the trial court neglected to give him credit for time he spent in prison for grand theft before he was released on probation. The trial court acknowledged this omission in the original resentencing and filed an amended judgment and sentence in which it required the Department of Corrections to give Mr. Hardenbrook credit, for prior prison time. See § 921.0017, Fla. Stat. (2005) (providing that when probation is revoked, the sentencing court shall order credit for time served in state prison or county jail, upon recommitment to the Department of Corrections, and "shall direct the Department of Corrections to compute and apply credit" for prior prison credit). The second resentencing thus corrected the error, and mooted the claim of failure to give credit for time spent in prison before probation.

  6. Joyner v. State

    988 So. 2d 670 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2008)   Cited 18 times
    Sommers contended that he was entitled to additional credit for time served, namely, the time he served on his original prison sentence in the Department of Corrections. The State maintained that the defendant's plea agreement which resolved the second affidavit of violation (when the defendant was sentenced to community control and probation) amounted to a waiver of a claim of credit for time served when, eleven months later, the defendant was sentenced to fifteen years incarceration. This court disagreed, saving that the earlier agreement "does not amount to a global waiver of credit for all time served, as the state suggests." Id. at 380 n. 1. See generally § 921.0017, Fla. Stat. (2001) (requiring credit for time served in certain split sentence cases).

  7. Lindsey v. State

    335 So. 3d 1211 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2021)
    Appellant, Maurice Lindsey, challenges an order denying his motion to correct an illegal sentence. As he was properly credited for the ten-year minimum mandatory he served upon his original conviction, we find no merit in the claim that the sentence imposed upon revocation of probation violated his constitutional safeguards against double jeopardy. See § 921.0017, Fla. Stat. (2021) (providing that when probation is revoked, the sentencing court shall order credit for time served in state prison or county jail, upon recommitment to the Department of Corrections, and "shall direct the Department of Corrections to compute and apply credit" for prior prison credit); § 948.06(2)(b), Fla. Stat. (upon violation of probation, the sentencing judge may "impose any sentence which it might have originally imposed before placing the probationer or offender on probation"); § 775.087(2)(a)1., Fla. Stat. ("Any person who is convicted of a felony ... and the conviction was for: ... [r]obbery ... and during the commission of the offense, such person actually possessed a ‘firearm’ or ‘destructive device’ as those terms are defined in s[ection] 790.001, shall be sentenced to a minimum term…
  8. Rey v. State

    262 So. 3d 839 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2018)   Cited 2 times
    The State concedes that Rey was entitled to both jail credit and prison credit. "A defendant sentenced to a probationary split sentence who violates probation and is resentenced to prison is entitled to credit for all time actually served in prison prior to his release on probation unless credit is waived." Scharman v. Crews, 123 So.3d 147, 148 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013). The record is not clear in this instance whether the trial court directed the Florida Department of Corrections, pursuant to section 921.0017 of the Florida Statutes, to compute the appropriate prison credit; nor, ultimately, is it clear whether Rey either waived the additional prison credit or is entitled to it. In the order on appeal, however, the trial court generally found that its credit calculations conform to its oral pronouncement of "all time served."
