Credit shall include credit for time spent in custody prior to trial, during trial,
pending sentence, and pending the resolution of an appeal. (2) Credit against the maximum term and any minimum term shall be given to the defendant
for all time spent in custody under a prior sentence if he is later reprosecuted and

This shall include credit in accordance with paragraph (1) of this section for all
time spent in custody as a result of both the original charge and any subsequent charge
for the same offense or for another offense based on the same act or acts. (3) If the defendant is serving multiple sentences, and if one of the sentences is set
aside as the result of direct or collateral attack, credit against the maximum and
any minimum term of the remaining sentences shall be given for all time served in
relation to the sentence set aside since the commission of the offenses on which the
sentences were based. (4) If the defendant is arrested on one charge and later prosecuted on another charge
growing out of an act or acts that occurred prior to his arrest, credit against the
maximum term and any minimum term of any sentence resulting from such prosecution
shall be given for all time spent in custody under the former charge that has not
been credited against another sentence. (Oct. 5, 1980, P.L.693, No.142, eff. 60 days) 1980 Amendment. Act 142 amended the intro. par. Cross References. Section 9760 is referred to in section 9737 of this title; section 4105 of Title 61
