Vertical conflicts in sentencing practices: custody, credit, and concurrency

Article Abstract:

Due to the unintended effects of existing laws, a defendant cannot serve concurrent federal and state prison sentences if he is sentenced in federal court first. This is unfair and should be changed by requiring the U.S. Bureau of Prisons to accept prisoners serving concurrent terms, or by allowing federal courts to enforce decisions of concurrency made by state judges.
