Malave Laboy, Jonathan v. D De Correccion Y Rehabilitacion, KLRA202500104

Jonathan Malavé Laboy was convicted and sentenced to three years for violating Article 127 of the Puerto Rico Penal Code and other offenses.
Malavé spent time in preventive detention from August 20 to October 3, 2020, and later under various correctional measures, including supervised release and time in rehabilitation.
In February 2024, privileges were revoked due to noncompliance, and Malavé was reincarcerated, with subsequent periods of detention counted toward his sentence.
Malavé filed an administrative remedy in January 2025, requesting credit for his earlier preventive detention in 2020, which was initially denied by the Department of Corrections.
While the appeal was pending, the Department updated Malavé’s sentencing records to include the requested preventive detention period, thereby granting the relief sought.

Credit for preventive detention period	Malavé argued he should receive credit for preventive detention from Aug 20 to Oct 3, 2020.	Department initially denied; later conceded and credited the period.	Court held case is moot; relief granted.
