TERM COMMENCES FROM DATE OF FINAL JUDGMENT; EXCEPTIONS (§ 53.1-186)

The term of confinement in a local or state correctional facility for the

error or the affirmance of the judgment. When it is ordered that two or more
terms of confinement run concurrently, then such terms of confinement shall
commence and be computed from the time the first of such terms of confinement
commenced.

confinement of a person convicted of a felony and sentenced to the Department
whose sentence is partially suspended shall be that portion of the sentence
which was not suspended.
