County jail time certified by the county of commitment, or a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be credited to the appropriate cause against the inmate's discretionary minimum term, mandatory minimum term, and maximum sentence.

Pursuant to In Re Knapp, 102 Wn.2d 175 (1984), which holds that time spent in a state mental hospital pursuant to a valid criminal conviction should be credited against the offender's maximum and discretionary minimum sentences, the board herein adopts the following policy and procedure. State mental hospital time, certified by the mental facility in which the offender served or recognized by court of competent jurisdiction, shall be credited to the appropriate cause against the offender's discretionary minimum term, mandatory minimum term, and maximum sentence.
