Maine Revised Statutes, Title 17-A, § 2302: General provisions, 2019

1. Deduction for each day in execution of sentence of imprisonment. An individual committed to the custody of the Department of Corrections or a jail whose sentence of imprisonment has commenced pursuant to section 2303 must receive a day-for-day deduction from that individual's sentence of imprisonment for each day the individual is in execution of that sentence. This day-for-day deduction may not be withdrawn. Prior to the day-for-day deduction being given, the sentence must first be reduced by any deduction for time detained to which the individual is entitled pursuant to section 2305. [PL 2019, c. 113, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).] 2. Start of consecutive sentence. A consecutive sentence may not begin until the sentence involving imprisonment that the consecutive sentence immediately follows in time has been fully served. [PL 2019, c. 113, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).] 3. Application of deduction for concurrent sentences. While an individual is in execution of concurrent sentences pursuant to subsection 1, a day-for-day deduction must be accorded on all the sentences simultaneously. [PL 2019, c. 113, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).] 4. Application of deduction for consecutive sentences. While an individual is in execution of a consecutive sentence pursuant to subsection 1, a day-for-day deduction may be accorded on only one sentence at a time. [PL 2019, c. 113, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).]
