Except in infraction cases, when probation is granted, the court, in addition to conditions imposed under 46.2205, may require as a condition of probation that the defendant submit to a period of detention in an appropriate institution at whatever time or intervals within the period of probation, consecutive or nonconsecutive, the court shall designate.
(1) In misdemeanor cases, the period of detention under this section may not exceed:
(A) 15 days for a class C misdemeanor;
(B) 45 days for a class B misdemeanor; and
(C) 90 days for a class A misdemeanor.
(2) In felony cases, the period of detention under this section may not exceed one third of the maximum prescribed term of imprisonment for the crime of which the defendant has been convicted, or, where the maximum prescribed term is life imprisonment, 15 years.
(3) If probation is revoked and a term of imprisonment is served by reason of it, the time spent in a jail or other institution as a detention condition of probation is credited against the prison or jail term served for the offense in connection with which the detention condition was imposed.
