A: After AB 109 realignment, Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS) was created ( 3450-3465 P.C.) for most (except the most serious) felonies. The supervision is no longer than 3 years; you're eligible for discharge after 6 months and eligible to end supervision after 12 months, without violations. The court can modify or revoke the supervision, after a hearing on the violation, but the return to custody is a maximum of 180 days.

If the court keeps violating you with a return to custody in the county jail, with 2 for 1 credits, you will 'max' out when the remainder of the sentence has been served at half time.
