If an inmate has an indeterminate sentence followed by a consecutive determinate sentence and the two are aggregated is he serving an indeterminate or a determinate sentence?

He will definitely serve the term of the determinate sentence first. If, after serving the term of the determinate sentence, if the court feels that additional jail/prison time is called for, he will then serve the indeterminate sentence. The important phraseology here is the fact that the sentences are CONSECUTIVE and not CONCURRENT.
