Crimes: enhancements: punishment: state prison.
Summary
Existing law generally requires that felonies punishable by imprisonment in a county jail be punished either by the term described in the underlying offense or by a term of 16 months, or 2 or 3 years if the term is not specified. Existing law requires an executed sentence for these felonies to be punished in state prison if the defendant has a prior or current felony conviction for a serious or violent felony, is required to register as a sex offender, or is convicted of a crime for which the white collar crime enhancement is imposed as part of the sentence. Existing law imposes an additional term for a conviction of a violation of, or of a conspiracy to violate, specified provisions of law with respect to a substance containing heroin, cocaine base, cocaine, methamphetamine, amphetamine, or phencyclidine and its analogs, if the substance exceeds a specified weight. Existing law imposes a greater additional term under these provisions depending on the weight of the substance. This bill would additionally require an executed sentence to be punished in state prison if the defendant is convicted of a crime for which an enhancement is imposed pursuant to the above provision regarding those specified substances.
