Credit for Time Served is when a Judge gives a defendant who was in or is in jail, credit on their citation(s). Time served is not given automatically when released from jail; a Judge must approve it. You have to make the request for each citation and provide proof with each Court where you have outstanding warrants.
To request time served, you must provide proof of incarceration from a jail or prison that includes the dates you were incarcerated, along with the request form linked below. To consider your request, you must enter a plea for the charges for which you are request jail credit, if you have not done so already.
You may be eligible for Credit caused by “Time Served” if you were incarcerated while serving a sentence for another offense if the confinement occurred after the commission of the misdemeanor for which the defendant is now being sentenced.
