Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Jerry Black, Defendant-Appellant

May 14, 1998153 N.J. 438

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that parole revocation is a remedial, non‑punitive action and therefore does not trigger double jeopardy protections, and that jail credit for time served may be awarded only as prescribed by Rule 3:21‑8, rejecting the defendant’s claim for a double credit.
