ANNOTATION
This section does not require a Colorado sentence that is imposed to run consecutively to an out-of-state sentence to begin to run on the date the Colorado sentence is imposed. It simply clarifies a defendant's custodial status after sentencing when the defendant remains in the county jail awaiting transfer to a correctional facility. People v. Mackey, 101 P.3d 1143 (Colo. App. 2004).
