Imprisonment: state prison.
Summary
Under existing law, certain specified felonies are punished by imprisonment in a county jail for 16 months, or 2 or 3 years or, where the term is specified, for the term described in the underlying offense. Notwithstanding these provisions, existing law requires that a sentence be served in state prison where the defendant has a prior or current conviction for a serious or violent felony, has a prior felony conviction in another jurisdiction that has all of the elements of a serious or violent felony, is required to register as a sex offender, or has an aggravated white collar crime enhancement imposed as part of the sentence. This bill would additionally require a defendant to serve his or her sentence in state prison if he or she is convicted of a crime or crimes for which he or she is sentenced to an aggregate term of imprisonment of 10 years or more. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
