The defined term "local correctional facility", which is used throughout this
article, is substituted for the former term "local detention center" and this
section is revised to state expressly that the provisions of this subtitle that

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 704A(b).

The reference to "[a]n inmate who has been sentenced to a term of
imprisonment" is added to state expressly that which was only implied in
the former law, i.e., diminution credits have no value unless an inmate has
been sentenced to a term of imprisonment against which the diminution
credits may be applied.
