It can vary. If the judge gave you time to get your affairs in order and then report to jail, the date you actually report to jail and go through the intake system is the day your sentence begins. It can also be that at the moment your sentence is pronounced, you may be immediately taken into custody. In that case - THAT would be the day your sentence begins.
