MIHARA, J.

The Criminal Justice Realignment Act of 2011 (Realignment Act)1 made significant changes in punishment for defendants, including confinement in county jail rather than state prison for certain felons. (Pen. Code, § 1170, subd. (h).)2 These sentencing changes apply “to any person sentenced on or after October 1, 2011.” (§ 1170, subd. (h)(6).) We conclude that the Realignment Act does not apply to defendant Steven Moreno, Jr., whose sentence was imposed prior to October 1, 2011, and executed after that date when his probation was revoked.3 Accordingly, we reverse the judgment.
