A. Another way of describing concurrent sentences is to say that they are served at the same time.

Yes, Concurrent means - to run along side with - consecutive means - to follow on from. When sentencing the judge will look at the deterrent factor and wther it is in the public interest. So, a consecutive sentence may not have any impact as you are aleady serving a sentence. A concurrent will run along side your present sentence and thus give you a chance to rehabilitate yourself as you are already serving a sentence. You can get a long concurrent sentence which takes you past your present sentence. There is a formula when counting the days relative to a fine. You only have any say in it if you are in prison for non payment of a fine, thus you pay the fine and get out. Concurrent sentences are technically NOT freebies because if you appeal on the first sentence and win you still stay in prison to serve the second sentence.

A. You are serving all the concurrent sentences at the same time. For example, if you're sentenced to 5 years on a theft charge and 2 years on a battery charge, you would serve a total of 5 years. The opposite is consectutive sentencing, where you would serve 2 years on the battery, then start your 5 years for the theft, for a total of 7 years. If you were paroled early for the battery charge (after 1 year, for example) you would then start the other sentence.

The answer is A, time in prison counts against each of the sentences. Kind of like concurrent jurisdiction, which refers to a place where more than one law enforcement agency may enforce the law (so your county sheriff has concurrent jurisdiction with your city police). Make sense?

because 40 yrs will knock off 40 from a 60yr sentence and finish off a 40yr one.

concurrent prison sentences meat that the sentences will be served at the same time. for example if you are convicted of theft and 2nd degree murder in conjunction with the theft, you would serve you burglary conviction at the same time your are serving the murder conviction.

IT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN SENTENCED FOR TWO CRIMES BUT WILL SERVE THE TIME SIMULTANEOUSLY FOR BOTH.
