M. L. Mustain, Warden v. Oscar Maurice Pearson

I would dispose, under 18 U.S.C. § 4164, of petitioner’s contention that his sentence under the Youth Correction Act was terminated at the time that he began to serve his consecutive sentence for the escape charge. It reads as follows:

A prisoner having served his term or terms less good-time deductions shall, upon his release be deemed as if released on parole, until the expiration of the maximum term or terms for which he was sentenced less one hundred and eighty days.

Compare Brown v. Kearney, 302 F.2d 22, 23 (5th Cir. 1962).
