MEMORANDUM OPINION BY
JUDGE COVEY                                                     FILED: April 24, 2023

                Patrick Taylor (Taylor) petitions this Court for review of the
Pennsylvania Parole Board’s (Board) April 25, 2022 decision (mailed April 29,
2022) affirming the Board’s decision recorded November 24, 2021 (mailed
November 30, 2021). Taylor presents one issue for this Court’s review: whether the
Board erred by failing to award Taylor credit for all of the time he served exclusively
under the Board’s warrant or while incarcerated. After review, this Court affirms.
                Taylor is currently incarcerated at Quehanna Boot Camp (Quehanna).1
On September 8, 2006, the Dauphin County Common Pleas Court sentenced Taylor
to serve to 3 to 6 years of incarceration for the manufacture, sale, delivery, or
possession with intent to deliver drugs, and to concurrently serve 5 to 10 years of
incarceration for robbery, plus 5 to 10 years of concurrent incarceration for criminal
conspiracy to commit robbery (Original Sentence). See Certified Record (C.R.) at

      1
          See http://inmatelocator.cor.pa.gov (last visited Apr. 21, 2023).
1. Taylor’s Original Sentence maximum release date was December 5, 2015. See
C.R. at 1.
             On September 24, 2010, while Taylor was an inmate at the State
Correctional Institution (SCI) at Albion, the Board granted Taylor parole from his
Original Sentence on or after December 5, 2010 (upon completion of a violence
prevention program) to a community corrections center until he was successfully
discharged therefrom. See C.R. at 4-10. On January 20, 2011, the Board released
Taylor on parole. See C.R. at 7.
             As conditions of his parole, Taylor consented, inter alia, to obtaining
written permission before changing his approved residence and maintaining regular
contact with parole supervision staff. See C.R. at 8. Taylor also agreed to the
following conditions (Conditions):

             If you are arrested on new criminal charges, the Board has
             the authority to lodge a detainer against you which will
             prevent your release from custody[] pending disposition of
             those charges, even though you may have posted bail or
             released on your own recognizance from those [new]
             charges.
             If you violate a condition of your parole/reparole and, after
             an appropriate hearing(s), the Board decides that you are
             in violation of a condition of your parole/reparole[,] you
             may be recommitted to prison for such time as may be
             specified by the Board.
             If you are convicted of a crime committed while on
             parole/reparole, the Board has the authority, after an
             appropriate hearing, to recommit you to serve the balance
             of the sentence or sentences which you were serving when
             paroled/reparoled, with no credit for time at liberty on
             parole.

C.R. at 8.
             On November 22, 2011, the Board declared Taylor delinquent effective
November 2, 2011. See C.R. at 11. On July 23, 2013, Taylor was placed in the York

                                          2
County Prison. See C.R. at 12. On October 17, 2013, the Board recommitted Taylor
as a technical parole violator (TPV) to serve six months of backtime at an
SCI/contracted county jail because he changed his approved residence without
permission, and he failed to report to parole supervision staff as instructed. See C.R.
at 12, 14-16. The Board recalculated Taylor’s Original Sentence maximum release
date to August 25, 2017. See C.R. at 12, 14, 22. The Board also declared that,
provided Taylor did not commit certain disciplinary infractions, he would be
reparoled automatically (without further Board action) on January 23, 2014. See
C.R. at 14, 17. By decision issued November 1, 2013, the Board reaffirmed its
October 17, 2013 decision to recommit Taylor. See C.R. at 24. On January 23,
2014, the Board released Taylor on reparole subject to the Conditions. See C.R. at
17-20.
              On March 14, 2016, the Harrisburg Police Department arrested Taylor
for the manufacture, sale, delivery, or possession with intent to deliver drugs
(Dauphin County Charge). See C.R. at 25. By decision rendered April 18, 2016,
the Board detained Taylor pending disposition of the Dauphin County Charge. See
C.R. at 25.
              On June 17, 2016, Taylor pled guilty to the Dauphin County Charge,
and the Dauphin County Common Pleas Court sentenced him to 1½ to 3 years of
incarceration (Dauphin County Sentence). See C.R. at 32, 41. Taylor’s custody for
return date was August 1, 2016. See C.R. at 26, 41. By August 5, 2016 decision,
the Board recommitted Taylor to SCI-Camp Hill as a convicted parole violator
(CPV) to serve 18 months of backtime based on the Dauphin County Charge. See
C.R. at 26-29. The Board declared that Taylor was not eligible for parole until
February 1, 2018, and recalculated his Original Sentence maximum release date as
December 14, 2020. See C.R. at 26, 28-29.

                                          3
             By decision recorded November 29, 2017, the Board granted Taylor
parole to his state detainer/Dauphin County Sentence subject to the Conditions. See
C.R. at 33, 36-39. Accordingly, on February 1, 2018, the Board constructively
reparoled Taylor from his Original Sentence to serve his state detainer/Dauphin
County Sentence. See Board Br. at 3; see also C.R. at 41 (Taylor’s Sentence Status
Summary reflected “GU4501 re[]paroled on [February] 1[, 20]18.            NG0959
effective date is [February] 2[, 2018.”).
             On May 8, 2018, Taylor was transferred to Quehanna. See Board Br.
at 3; see also C.R. at 103. On November 27, 2018, the Board notified Taylor that he
would be released from Quehanna on November 28, 2018, subject to the Conditions.
See C.R. at 40, 44-47. The Board recalculated Taylor’s maximum date for his
detainer sentence as September 25, 2020. See C.R. at 42, 44. On November 28,
2018, Taylor was moved from Quehanna to Harrisburg Community Corrections
Center. See C.R. at 103. On January 8, 2019, Taylor was discharged from the
Harrisburg Community Corrections Center to an approved home plan. See C.R. at
67.
             On March 20, 2019, the Board issued a warrant to commit and detain
Taylor, and he was held at SCI-Camp Hill. See C.R. at 49-50, 103. On March 29,
2019, Taylor agreed to Special Conditions of Parole directing him to enter an
inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation program at Gaudenzia Siena House (Siena
House). See C.R. at 48. By Order to Release from Temporary Detention, the Board
directed that SCI-Camp Hill transport Taylor to Siena House on March 29, 2019,
which it did. See C.R. at 50, 103.
             On April 27, 2019, Taylor absconded from Siena House and, on April
30, 2019, the Board declared him delinquent for changing his approved residence
without permission. See C.R. at 51-52, 67, 153. Taylor’s whereabouts remained
unknown until he turned himself in to parole staff on May 18, 2020. See C.R. at 67.
                                            4
             On May 18, 2020, the Camp Hill Police Department arrested Taylor on
charges of, inter alia, flight to avoid apprehension/trial/punishment and fleeing or
attempting to elude police (Cumberland County Charges), the Cumberland County
Common Pleas Court set his bail at $50,000.00 monetary, and he was placed in the
Cumberland County prison. See C.R. at 55, 64, 104-105, 110, 112. The Board
issued a warrant to commit and detain Taylor. See C.R. at 53. Taylor was unable to
post bail at that time. See C.R. at 104. However, Taylor posted bail on May 27,
2020, after the Cumberland County Common Pleas Court changed the bail to
$50,000.00 unsecured. See C.R. at 64, 105, 110. By June 8, 2020 Order to Cancel
Warrant to Commit and Detain, the Board took custody of Taylor and transported
him to SCI-Retreat on June 9, 2020. See C.R. at 54, 103. On June 24, 2020, Taylor
was moved to SCI-Smithfield. See C.R. at 103.
             By decision recorded July 14, 2020, the Board detained Taylor pending
disposition of the Cumberland County Charges. See C.R. at 55. By September 21,
2020 Order to Cancel Warrant to Commit and Detain, the Board lifted its detainer
effective September 25, 2020 (the maximum date for the detainer sentence) and
directed Taylor to report to parole staff upon his release. See C.R. at 59. On October
5, 2020, Taylor agreed to Special Conditions of Parole - global positioning system
(GPS) monitoring. See C.R. at 60.
             On July 14, 2021, after a trial, Taylor was found guilty of the
Cumberland County Charges. See C.R. at 62, 72-75. The Board verified the
conviction on July 16, 2021. See C.R. at 65. Because Taylor failed to report to
parole staff and removed his GPS monitor, his bail was revoked on July 16, 2021.
See C.R. at 67, 105, 110. On August 9, 2021, the Board issued a warrant to commit
and detain Taylor. See C.R. at 61. On August 26, 2021, the Board sent Taylor a
Notice of Charges and Hearing, scheduling a parole revocation hearing for
September 13, 2021. See C.R. at 62. Taylor waived his right to a panel hearing, see
                                          5
C.R. at 82, and a hearing was held before a single hearing examiner on September
13, 2021, at which Taylor admitted to his convictions for the Cumberland County
Charges.2 See C.R. at 76-93, 96. On September 17, 2021, the Board voted to
recommit Taylor to an SCI as a CPV to serve 9 months’ backtime on his Original
Sentence, pending his return to an SCI, without credit for time he spent at liberty on
parole because of his history of supervision failure and his continued, unresolved
drug and alcohol issues. See C.R. at 94-102.
               On September 21, 2021, the Cumberland County Common Pleas Court
sentenced Taylor to serve 21 to 42 months in an SCI for the flight to avoid
apprehension/trial/punishment charge, and to serve a consecutive 9 to 24 months in
an SCI for the fleeing or attempting to elude police charge, but gave him a 53-day
credit (Cumberland County Sentence).3 See C.R. at 108, 112-113, 119-120, 125,
153.       The Cumberland County Common Pleas Court declared that Taylor’s
Cumberland County Sentence was to “run consecutive with any other sentence [he]
[was] currently serving.” See C.R. at 112.
               By decision recorded November 8, 2021, the Board recommitted
Taylor to an SCI to serve 9 months of backtime on his Original Sentence, when
available, pending his return to an SCI. See C.R. at 126-129. Taylor’s Sentence
Status Summary reflected: “Recommit on [his Original Sentence] and [his Dauphin
County Sentence], but only recalculate on [his Original Sentence] until further
direction.”    C.R. at 125.     By decision recorded November 24, 2021 (mailed
November 30, 2021), the Board referred to its November 8, 2021 action, declared
that Taylor was not eligible for parole until February 20, 2022, and recalculated
Taylor’s Original Sentence maximum release date to March 26, 2024. See C.R. at

       2
        Counsel represented Taylor at the hearing.
       3
        It is not clear in the record on what basis the Cumberland County Common Pleas Court
awarded Taylor the 53-day credit.
                                             6
130-134. In recalculating Taylor’s Original Sentence, the Board credited Taylor for
the time he was confined on the Board’s detainers from March 20 to March 29, 2019
(i.e., 9 days), and from May 27 to September 25, 2020 (i.e., 121 days), and
determined that he had 917 days (2 years, 6 months, and 6 days) remaining on his
Original Sentence. See C.R. at 124, 133.
             On December 22, 2021, Taylor, pro se, filed an Administrative
Remedies Form challenging the Board’s decision recorded November 24, 2021
(mailed November 30, 2021), on the basis that the Board miscalculated the time he
owed on his Original Sentence. See C.R. at 143-145. Specifically, Taylor argued
that he did not leave prison when he was paroled on February 1, 2018, but was
paroled to his sentence on his Dauphin County Charge, parole staff informed him
that his Dauphin County Sentence would run concurrently with his Original
Sentence, and based on his supervision history, he was not paroled to the Harrisburg
Community Corrections Center until November 28, 2018, and he was released
therefrom to an approved home plan on January 8, 2019. See C.R. at 143-144.
Taylor declared that he owed 44 months of backtime in 2016, and “did a[n] 18[-
]month hit from August 1, 2016 until February 1, 2018[,] which left [him] 26 months
[] of back[]time owed.” C.R. at 144.
             On January 4, 2022, Taylor’s counsel filed an Administrative Remedies
Form, arguing that the Board erred in its recalculation of Taylor’s Original Sentence
maximum release date because it was substantially beyond the time Taylor could be
required to serve his Original Sentence, in that the Board failed to properly credit
the time Taylor served solely on the Board’s detainer and does not accurately reflect
when he was incarcerated and under the Board’s jurisdiction, and the Board failed
to comply with Pennsylvania law relating to the order in which Taylor was to serve
his sentences and, thus, improperly caused him to serve consecutive time. See C.R.
at 146-151. In Taylor’s representations attached to the January 4, 2022 appeal, he
                                           7
declared that he was not challenging his 9-month CPV recommitment but, rather,
the Board’s parole violation date calculation.4 See C.R. at 148-149. By April 25,
2022 decision (mailed April 29, 2022), the Board affirmed its November 24, 2021
decision (mailed November 30, 2021). See C.R. at 152-154. Taylor appealed to this
Court.5
               Taylor argues that the Board failed to award him credit for all of the
time he served exclusively on the Board’s warrants or while he was incarcerated.
Specifically, Taylor contends that the Board erred by recommitting him on the basis
that he was paroled on February 1, 2018, when he was actually paroled on November
28, 2018, from Quehanna. Taylor’s entire argument is as follows:

               The order to recommit . . . dated November 24, 2021[,]
               reflects [Taylor’s] parole/reparole/delinquency/[B]oard
               warrant date as February 1, 2018. ([C.R. at] 124).
               However, the release on parole to [Quehanna] is dated
               November 28, 2018. ([C.R. at] 45). This date is
               additionally reflected in the hearing transcript ([C.R. at]
               91), warrant to commit and detain dated May 18, 2020,
               wanted notice request ([C.R. at] 51), Pennsylvania
               Department of Corrections moves report ([C.R. at] 103),
               and supervision history ([C.R. at] 67). [Taylor,] at the
               time of his reparole on November 28, 2018[,] owed 747
               days or two years and 16 days. He received credit of [9]
               days confinement time and 121 days backtime credit.
               ([C.R. at] 124). His backtime owed should be 617 days.
               Adding 617 days to his custody for return date of

       4
          On March 14, 2022, the Board recorded its decision to parole Taylor to his state detainer
sentence. See C.R. at 135-137. The Board released Taylor on parole on March 30, 2022, subject
to the Conditions. See C.R. at 138-142. Because Taylor is currently incarcerated at Quehanna, he
was returned to custody at some point after March 30, 2022.
        5
          “[This Court’s] scope of review is limited to determining whether constitutional rights
were violated, whether the decision was in accordance with law, or whether the necessary findings
of fact were supported by substantial evidence.” White v. Pa. Parole Bd., 276 A.3d 1247, 1255
n.7 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2022).
        Taylor filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis, which this Court granted on June
8, 2022.
                                                8
             September 21, 2021[,] results in a recomputed maximum
             sentence date of May 31, 2023.

Taylor Br. at 13.
             Section 6138 of the Prisons and Parole Code (Parole Code) provides,
in relevant part:

             (a) Convicted violators.--
             ....
             (2) If the offender’s parole is revoked, the offender shall
             be recommitted to serve the remainder of the term which
             the offender would have been compelled to serve had the
             parole not been granted and, except as provided under
             paragraph (2.1), shall be given no credit for the time at
             liberty on parole.
             (2.1) The [B]oard may, in its discretion, award credit to an
             offender recommitted under paragraph (2) for the time
             spent at liberty on parole, [except for situations that do not
             apply in the instant matter] . . . .
             (2.2) Credit awarded under paragraph (2.1) is subject to
             forfeiture under this section if an offender is subsequently
             recommitted as a [CPV].
             (2.3) A parolee is at liberty on parole when the parolee is
             residing at a community corrections center, community
             corrections facility or group-based home for purposes of
             this section. This paragraph does not apply to parolees
             detained on the [B]oard’s warrant or recommitted as a
             [TPV] to a community corrections center or community
             corrections facility.
             ....
             (4) The period for which the offender is required to serve
             shall be computed by the [B]oard and shall begin on the
             date that the parole violator is taken into custody to be
             returned to the institution as an offender.
             (5) If a new sentence is imposed on the offender, the
             service of the balance of the term originally imposed by a

                                           9
            Pennsylvania court shall precede the commencement of
            the new term imposed in the following cases:
                (i) If a person is paroled from a[n SCI] and the new
                sentence imposed on the person is to be served in
                [an SCI].
                (ii) If a person is paroled from a county prison and
                the new sentence imposed upon him is to be served
                in the same county prison.
                (iii) In all other cases, the service of the new term
                for the latter crime shall precede commencement
                of the balance of the term originally imposed.

61 Pa.C.S. § 6138.
            Moreover, this Court has explained:

            Under Gaito[ v. Pennsylvania Board of Probation &
            Parole, 412 A.2d 568 (Pa. 1980)], if a CPV satisfies bail
            requirements prior to sentencing and is incarcerated solely
            on the Board’s detainer, this period of incarceration is
            credited to his original sentence. [See id]. However, when
            bail is not posted, the time incarcerated on both the new
            criminal charges and the Board’s detainer must apply to
            the new sentence. [See i]d.

White v. Pa. Parole Bd., 276 A.3d 1247, 1256 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2022).
            Finally,

            [t]he Board [] has the discretion to grant constructive
            parole. See Merritt v. Pa. Bd. of Prob. & Parole, . . . 539
            A.2d 511 ([Pa. Cmwlth.] 1988). “A prisoner on
            constructive parole is not released from prison but is

            liberty from all confinement, but at liberty from
            confinement of the particular sentence from which the
            convict is being reentered as a parole violator.”

            Here, the record clearly reflects that when the Board paroled Taylor on
February 1, 2018, he was released to serve his state detainer/Dauphin County
Sentence.   Although Taylor remained incarcerated until he was transferred to
Quehanna on May 8, 2018, he was still on constructive parole from his Original
Sentence and serving his state detainer/Dauphin County Sentence during that time.
Contrary to Taylor’s representations, he was not paroled to Quehanna on November
28, 2018, but, rather, was released from Quehanna on November 28, 2018, and sent
to the Harrisburg Community Corrections Center. See C.R. at 45, 51, 67, 91, 103.
            In addition, when the Board released Taylor on February 1, 2018, he
had 1,047 days remaining on his Original Sentence. See C.R. at 36-39. The Board
credited Taylor for the days he was held solely on the Board’s detainers from March
20 to March 29, 2019, (i.e., 9 days) and from May 27 to September 25, 2020, (i.e.,
121 days). The Board subtracted the 130 credited days from the 1,047 days
remaining on Taylor’s Original Sentence, which left 917 days (2 years, 6 months,
and 6 days) for Taylor to serve on his Original Sentence. Adding 917 days to
Taylor’s September 21, 2021 Cumberland County Sentence date - the date he
became available to again serve his Original Sentence - results in a new Original
Sentence maximum release date of March 26, 2024.

                                         11
The Board concluded:
The Board re[]paroled Taylor from his [O]riginal
[S]entence . . . on February 1, 2018[,] with a maximum
[release] date of December 14, 2020. This means that
Taylor was left with 1[,]047 days remaining on his
[Original S]entence. Taylor rolled to a [Dauphin County]
state detainer sentence . . . . On November 28, 2018,
Taylor [was] paroled from his [Dauphin County S]entence
. . . from Quehanna . . . . The maximum date for the
detainer sentence was September 25, 2020. The Board’s
decision to recommit Taylor as a [CPV] authorized the
recalculation of his maximum date to reflect that he
received no credit for the time spent at liberty on parole.
[See Section 6138(a)(2) of the Parole Code ,] 61 Pa.C.S. §
6138(a)(2). This means that Taylor owed 1[,]047 days on
his [O]riginal [S]entence . . . based on his recommitment
as a CPV. The Board applied confinement credit toward
Taylor’s [Original S]entence . . . for [nine] days from
March 20, 2019[,] to March 29, 2019[,] because he was
temporarily held on the Board’s detainer during that
period. Taylor is not entitled to credit toward his
[O]riginal [S]entence for the period he was serving under
[his Dauphin County Sentence] because he is not entitled
to such, even though he was paroled to a state detainer
sentence. [See] Rosenberger . . . . This means that Taylor
owed 1[,]047 - 9 = 1[,]038 days remaining on his
[O]riginal [S]entence based on [] [his] recommitment.
On April 27, 2019, Taylor absconded from supervision
and he was declared delinquent by the Board. On May 18,
2020, local authorities in Cumberland County arrested
Taylor for new criminal charges, bail was set to
$50,000[.00] monetary which he did not post, and the
Board lodged its detainer that same day. On May 27,
2020, the bail type for the [Cumberland County C]harges
was changed to unsecured bail. The Board’s detainer was
lifted on September 25, 2020. On July 16, 2021, Taylor’s
bail was revoked following his guilty plea. On September
13, 2021, the Board conducted a non-panel revocation
hearing for Taylor’s [Cumberland County Charges]. The
Board voted to revoke for the [Cumberland County
Charges] on September 17, 2021. On September 21, 2021,

                            12
            Taylor was sentenced in Cumberland County to a new
            carceral term to be served in an SCI.
            Based on the above facts, the Board applied credit toward
            Taylor’s [O]riginal [S]entence for 121 days from May 27,
            2020 to September 25, 2020. Taylor is entitled to such
            credit because he posted bail on the [Cumberland County
            Charges], and[,] thus, the Board held him solely on its
            detainer during that period. [See] Gaito . . . . Taylor is not
            entitled to credit from May 18, 2020 to May 27, 2020[,]
            toward his [O]riginal [S]entence, nor is he entitled to
            credit from July 16, 2021[,] to the sentencing date of
            September 21, 2021[,] because he did not post bail on the
            [Cumberland County Charges], and thus, the Board did
            not hold him solely on its warrant during those periods.
            This means that Taylor was left with 1[,]038 - 121 = 917
            days on his [O]riginal [S]entence based on [his]
            recommitment.
            The [Parole Code] provides that a CPV who was released
            from an SCI and receives a new sentence to be served in
            an SCI must serve the original sentence first. [See Section
            6138(a)(5) of the Parole Code,] 61 Pa.C.S. § 6138(a)(5).
            Considering the Board declared Taylor a [CPV] four days
            prior to his sentencing date in Cumberland County, he
            therefore became available to commence service of his
            [O]riginal [S]entence on September 21, 2021, the day he
            was sentenced to state incarceration. Adding 917 days to
            September 21, 2021[,] yields a recalculated [Original
            Sentence] maximum [release] date of March 26, 2024.
            Any credit for time spent incarcerated that was not applied
            to Taylor’s [O]riginal [S]entence may be calculated by the
            Department of Corrections and applied toward his
            [Cumberland County Sentence] which he currently serves
            under QN[]7874.

C.R. at 152-153. Accordingly, the Board properly recalculated Taylor’s Original
Sentence maximum release date.
            Based on the foregoing, the Board’s order is affirmed.
