667.5
. Enhancement of prison terms for new offenses because of
prior prison terms shall be imposed as follows:
(a) Where one of the new offenses is one of the violent felonies
specified in subdivision (c), in addition to and consecutive to any
other prison terms therefor, the court shall impose a three-year term
for each prior separate prison term served by the defendant where
the prior offense was one of the violent felonies specified in
subdivision (c). However, no additional term shall be imposed under
this subdivision for any prison term served prior to a period of 10
years in which the defendant remained free of both prison custody and
the commission of an offense which results in a felony conviction.
(b) Except where subdivision (a) applies, where the new offense is
any felony for which a prison sentence or a sentence of imprisonment
in a county jail under subdivision (h) of Section 1170 is imposed or
is not suspended, in addition and consecutive to any other sentence
therefor, the court shall impose a one-year term for each prior
separate prison term or county jail term imposed under subdivision
(h) of Section 1170 or when sentence is not suspended for any felony;
provided that no additional term shall be imposed under this
subdivision for any prison term or county jail term imposed under
subdivision (h) of Section 1170 or when sentence is not suspended
prior to a period of five years in which the defendant remained free
of both the commission of an offense which results in a felony
conviction, and prison custody or the imposition of a term of jail
custody imposed under subdivision (h) of Section 1170 or any felony
sentence that is not suspended. A term imposed under the provisions
of paragraph (5) of subdivision (h) of Section 1170, wherein a
portion of the term is suspended by the court to allow mandatory
supervision, shall qualify as a prior county jail term for the
purposes of the one-year enhancement.
(c) For the purpose of this section, "violent felony" shall mean
any of the following:
(1) Murder or voluntary manslaughter.
(2) Mayhem.
(3) Rape as defined in paragraph (2) or (6) of subdivision (a) of

after July 1, 1977, or as specified prior to July 1, 1977, in
Sections 213, 264, and 461, or any felony in which the defendant uses
a firearm which use has been charged and proved as provided in
subdivision (a) of Section 12022.3, or Section 12022.5 or 12022.55.

(18) Rape, spousal rape, or sexual penetration, in concert, in
violation of Section 264.1.

person, other than an accomplice, was present in the residence during
the commission of the burglary.
(22) Any violation of Section 12022.53.
(23) A violation of subdivision (b) or (c) of Section 11418. The
Legislature finds and declares that these specified crimes merit

condemnation for these extraordinary crimes of violence against the
person.
(d) For the purposes of this section, the defendant shall be
deemed to remain in prison custody for an offense until the official
discharge from custody, including any period of mandatory
supervision, or until release on parole or postrelease community
supervision, whichever first occurs, including any time during which
the defendant remains subject to reimprisonment or custody in county

jurisdiction. A prior conviction of a particular felony shall include

California law if the defendant served one year or more in prison for
the offense in the other jurisdiction.

state prison or federal penal institution as punishment for
commission of an offense, including confinement in a hospital or
other institution or facility credited as service of prison time in
the jurisdiction of the confinement.
(i) For the purposes of this section, a commitment to the State
Department of Mental Health, or its successor the State Department of
State Hospitals, as a mentally disordered sex offender following a
conviction of a felony, which commitment exceeds one year in
duration, shall be deemed a prior prison term.
(j) For the purposes of this section, when a person subject to the
custody, control, and discipline of the Secretary of the Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation is incarcerated at a facility
operated by the Division of Juvenile Justice, that incarceration
shall be deemed to be a term served in state prison.
(k) (1) Notwithstanding subdivisions (d) and (g) or any other
provision of law, where one of the new offenses is committed while
the defendant is temporarily removed from prison pursuant to Section
2690 or while the defendant is transferred to a community facility
