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))
