The Board will consider a written application for commutation,
on a felony conviction, resulting in credit for time served in jail
from the time of sentence only if the applicant has been continuously
in jail during the entire period for which the application is made
and only upon receipt in writing of the following information from
the judge of the court of conviction:
(1) the name of the convicted defendant;
(2) the cause number and court in which the conviction
occurred;
(3) a statement that it was the intent of the sentencing
judge, at the time of sentencing, that the applicant be given credit
for the jail time served, but that such credit was not given through
oversight or error, as the case may be;
(4) a statement of the exact number of days, months,
or years which should be credited on the sentence;
(5) a statement that the applicant was continuously
in custody and in jail for the total credit period requested;
(6) a request that the Board make favorable recommendation
to the Governor that such time credit be allowed.
