If you mean can they apply the time you've already served in jail awaiting trial and reduce your adjudicated prison time by that amount . . . yes, they do in the case of an offense that does not call for a mandatory sentence.

If the offense has a legislatively mandatory sentence attached to it, the judge does not have any discretion to do that. I thought by law they have to give all days that were served
