...Formerly, the determination as to whether the defendant should be allowed credit for all or part of the time spent in county jail before sentencing was left to the sole discretion of the sentencing court. In 1973, however, the legislature amended section *545 921.161(1) to provide that the court must allow a defendant credit for all of the time spent in the county jail before sentencing. See ch. 73-71, Laws of Fla. Consistent with the views of the First, Second, and Fourth District Courts of Appeal, we find that when, pursuant to section 921.161(1), a defendant receives presentence jail-time credit on a sentence that is to run concurrently with other sentences, those sentences must also reflect the credit for time served....

...view, was not intended by the legislature to apply to various places of incarceration in other jurisdictions. We note that the award of credit for time served in Florida jails prior to sentencing has not always been a matter of right. Prior to 1973, section 921.161 provided that the only credit that must be given was for that time served in a "county jail" between the imposition of sentence and the defendant's transfer to the state prison system. § 921.161(2), Fla. Stat. (1969). Clearly, the incarceration referred to in that statute could have been only in a Florida county jail. Section 921.161(1), Florida Statutes (1969), also gave the trial judge discretionary authority to award credit for time sewed in county jails prior to sentencing. This provision was amended in 1973 to mandate that such credit be given. Ch. 73-71, Laws of Fla. Interpreting the term "county jail," as used in sections 921.161(1) and (2), we conclude that section 921.161(1) requires the trial judge to give credit only for time served in Florida county jails pending disposition of criminal charges....

...The defendant argues that he is entitled to credit for the entire time period between sentencing and his delivery to the Department of Corrections, including time he was free on postjudgment release. He derives that interpretation from the wording *218 of subsection

526 So.2d 747 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988). [*] In reality, "time spent" under subsection
921.161(2) refers back to a similar phrase used in subsection
921.161(1) and means time spent in custody. See id. §

Ilkhani was sentenced to seven years imprisonment in case number 00-5955 on August 3, 2001 and was delivered to the Department of Corrections on November 13, 2001.

855 So.2d 216 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003), the court explained: In reality, "time spent" under subsection
921.161(2) refers back to a similar phrase used in subsection

921.161(1) ("time she or he spent in the county jail"). The jailer is required to certify the dates that the defendant was at liberty on bond or otherwise, id. §
921.161(2)(b), (c), so that these periods can be subtracted from the total time period between sentencing and delivery to the Department of Corrections. The defendant is only entitled to credit for the time incarcerated between sentencing and delivery to the Department of Corrections. Id. at 218 (emphasis in original). Section
921.161 states in part: "When delivering a prisoner to the department, the custodian of the local jail shall certify to it in writing . . . [t]he dates of any periods after sentence the prisoner was at liberty on bond." §

Section 921.161, Florida Statutes, provides in pertinent part:
A sentence of imprisonment shall not begin to run before the date
it is imposed, but the court imposing a sentence shall allow a
defendant credit for all of the time she or he spent in the county
jail before sentence. The credit must be for a specified period of
time and shall be provided for in the sentence.
