In re Hodges

In In re Hodges (1979) 89 Cal.App.3d 221, the defendant was serving a prison term and escaped. He was subsequently apprehended and, of course, returned to custody. New charges were also filed against him based upon crimes committed while an escapee. The court held the defendant was not entitled to credit on the time in custody between his arraignment and sentence on the new charges. Obviously, in that case, the defendant would have been returned to custody as an escapee regardless of whether he committed any new crimes. ( Id., at p. 225.)
