19: Basic Determinate with Consecutive Indeterminate Sentence

Formula for an inmate received with two or more consecutive sentences. At least one indeterminate and one determinate.To compute the Parole Eligibility date, add 6/7 of the determinate term to the indeterminate minimum.To compute the Maximum Expiration date, add the determinate term to the indeterminate minimum term. Add the indeterminate maximum term to the date received, and whichever is longer controls.To compute the Conditional Release*, use the controlling Maximum Expiration date.The good time is 1/7 of the determinate term plus 1/3 of the indeterminate maximum term.*Penal Law 70.40 (1)(b)(ii) prohibits inmates from being eligible for CR before they are eligible for parole, so the CR date is slid back to the PE date and the good time is correspondingly reduced.

21: Determinate Returned Parole Violator with No New Term

Formula for determinate returned parole violator with no new term. To compute the adjusted Maximum Expiration date, start with the prior Maximum Expiration date, subtract the delinquency date and parole jail time and add the date returned. The good time is 1/7 of the time owed before the parole jail time is subtracted. The formula for computer 1/7 is (364 x Y) + (30 x M) + D/7. If the remaining time owed is one year or less, there is no good time and no Conditional Release date.

For determinate sentenced only: Enter FMAX in the PHT field; leave the ERD, PHD, and PE fields blank.

For determinate and indeterminate mix cases: Do not change the PE, PHD, PHT, or ERD fields.

To compute the adjusted maximum expiration date, subtract the date released from the Maximum Expiration date to arrive at the Sentence Time Owed.

Compare the good time, and whichever is greater must be subtracted from the controlling maximum expiration date. *Penal Law 70.40 (1)(b)(ii) prohibits inmates from being eligible for CR before they are eligible for parole, so the CR date is slid back to the PE date and the good time is correspondingly reduced.
