Lead Opinion

Chin, J.

Appellant Jeffrey Scott Eddy was originally sentenced to three years in state prison for possessing a controlled substance for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11378) and to a one-year consecutive term for vehicle theft (Veh. Code, § 10851). The crimes were committed in 1992 and 1991, respectively. The court subsequently suspended criminal proceedings and committed appellant to the California Rehabilitation Center (CRC). Appellant was excluded from CRC 1 after he was in that institution for 504 days. The trial court then reinstated criminal proceedings and imposed the stayed four-year prison term. Although the trial court granted credit for the actual time appellant spent at CRC, it did not grant appellant good behavior *1102 and participation credit (Pen. Code, § 2931) 2 or worktime credit (§ 2933) for that period. On appeal, appellant contends he should have been awarded good behavior and participation credit or worktime credit for the time he spent at CRC. We disagree and affirm the judgment.
