ADVISORY OPINION AND ORDER

PER CURIAM.

On November 1, 1967 this Court issued an advisory opinion in the above styled matter. 433 P.2d 518 . In that opinion it was stated petitioner was entitled to receive credit toward the fulfillment of her penitentiary sentence for the time she was incarcerated in the Tulsa County jail after her parole was revoked, pending trial on *622 other charges, but prior to her being physically returned to the State Penitentiary.

The Opinion stated further:

“[T]hat the Warden of the state penitentiary should direct the proper member of his staff to see that petitioner’s records reflect the credits due her, as herein discussed ; and any other credits petitioner is lawfully entitled to receive.”

It is the further opinion and order of this Court that the Warden of the State Penitentiary direct the proper member of his staff to grant all similarly situated inmates of that institution “jail-time” credit due, wherein the factual circumstances show the parolee to have been incarcerated in a county jail, after his parole has been revoked, in accordance with the state statutes. In those instances, the State has the choice of immediately transporting the parole violator to the State Penitentiary, and later returning him to the county to stand trial, or, to retain him in the jail pending his trial. In the latter instance, however, the parole violator is entitled to receive credit, for the time spent in the county jail, toward the fulfillment of his penitentiary sentence.

Approved en banke this 13th day of December, 1967.
