§ 4105. Transfer of offenders serving sentence of
imprisonment
(a) Except as provided elsewhere in this section, an
offender serving a sentence of imprisonment in a foreign
country transferred to the custody of the Attorney
General shall remain in the custody of the Attorney
General under the same conditions and for the same
period of time as an offender who had been committed to
the custody of the Attorney General by a court of the
United States for the period of time imposed by the
sentencing court.
(b) The transferred offender shall be given credit
toward service of the sentence for any days, prior to
the date of commencement of the sentence, spent in
custody in connection with the offense or acts for which
the sentence was imposed.
(c)
(1) The transferred offender shall be entitled to all
credits for good time, for labor, or any other credit
toward the service of the sentence which had been given
by the transferring country for time served as of the
time of the transfer. Subsequent to the transfer, the
offender shall in addition be entitled to credits toward
service of sentence for satisfactory behavior, computed
on the basis of the time remaining to be served at the
time of the transfer and at the rate provided in section
3624 (b) of this title for a sentence of the length of
the total sentence imposed and certified by the foreign
authorities. These credits shall be combined to provide
a release date for the offender pursuant to section 3624
(a) of this title.
(2) If the country from which the offender is
transferred does not give credit for good time, the
basis of computing the deduction from the sentence shall
be the sentence imposed by the sentencing court and
certified to be served upon transfer, at the rate
provided in section 3624 (b) of this title.
(3) Credit toward service of sentence may be withheld as
provided in section 3624 (b) of this title.
(4) Any sentence for an offense against the United
States, imposed while the transferred offender is
serving the sentence of imprisonment imposed in a
foreign country, shall be aggregated with the foreign
sentence, in the same manner as if the foreign sentence
was one imposed by a United States district court for an
offense against the United States.
