Opinion by
JUDGE WEBB
¶ 1 Defendant, Danny Gene Garcia, appeals the district court’s refusal to award presentence confinement credit (PSCC) against the sentences it imposed in case numbers 14CK10235 and 14CR10393. He contends that we should interpret “may” in section 18-1.3-407(2)(a)(I), C.R.S. 2015, as requiring a district or juvenile court to award PSCC whenever an offender is sentenced to the Youthful Offender System (YOS). Alternatively, he contends that even if “may” is permissive, the district court abused its discretion in refusing to award PSCC. We reject both contentions and affirm.
