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.

An order that shows that a person is in jail for a good reason?
It's called 'a writ of Habeas corpus.' You can ask a judge for one. He issues it, you take it to the jailer, and the jailer (or district attorney or police representative) appears in the judge's court and justifies the detention of the person in jail. If they can't justify detention to the judge's satisfaction (and the satisfaction of the law), and if there are no other pending charges, the judge may order the detainee to be set free.Added: The above MAY be the answer that was being sought.HOWEVER - another order that shows that person is in jail for a good reason, would be the commitment, or sentencing order AFTER they were found guilty and adjudicated by the court.
