Realignment Sentencing in California

Realignment Sentencing in California

The Legislature has amended hundred of felony statutes to specify that "imprisonment shall be pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170."   Starting October 1, 2011, a defendant sentenced under one of these statutes can only be imprisoned "in a county jail for the term described in the underlying offense." (Penal Code section 1170(h))
