It wasn’t that long ago that judges would routinely impose double time for pretrial custody (counting two days for every one day in jail awaiting trial or sentencing). Sometimes judges would even grant three-for-one, or four-for-one credit. The rationale was twofold—first, no consideration is given for early parole eligibility in pretrial custody, and second, conditions of confinement in pretrial facilities are generally more onerous due to a lack of programs and other facilities for inmates.
