Elmuiz Abdu v. Harold W. Clarke, Director, Virginia Department of Corrections
Base upon the case laws, rules, and the authority provided by the Genral Assermbly and the Attorney General, petitioner alleged the his jail good time credit and the ESC Level has been calculated incorrectly. Under the following argument below;
See 1972-1973 Op. Va. Att'y Gen. 313. "There is no question that a person convicted is entitled to credit for time spent awaiting trial... . [T]he legislature has made no distinction as to the location of the jail in which the individual is confined..."
See 1995 Va. AG LEXIS 67: "A prior opinion of the Attorney General concludes that it was the intention of the General Assermbly in passing the predecessor to § 53.1-187, "that an inmate be given credit for all the time spent in jail awaiting trial regardless of the jurisdiction so long as there is no duplication."
Whether the petitioner's jail good time credit and ESC Level have been calculated incorrectly
