People v. Twine

In People v. Twine (1982) 135 Cal. App. 3d 59, the defendant sought conduct credits for his period of presentence detention in juvenile hall. The court concluded that the defendant was entitled to presentence conduct credits, explaining that "if appellant could not earn conduct credits for his period of presentence detention in juvenile hall, he would wind up serving more total time in custody than a defendant sentenced to state prison who was not detained pretrial." ( Id. at p. 63.)
