Presentence credits

PC2900.5

If a defendant gets picked up in other state on a California warrant, the defendant gets credits for the out-of-state custody. (In re Watson (1977) 19 Cal.3d 646.) However, if a defendant gets picked up for reasons other than a California warrant, such as committing an out-of-state crime, then the defendant gets no credit for the time he is in custody due to the out-of-state stuff. (In re Joyner (1989) 48 Cal.3d 487.)
