P.R. Laws tit. 33, § 4703
The convict shall be credited for served detention or imprisonment terms as follows:
(a) The imprisonment time served by any convict from his detention and up to the time when the sentence becomes final shall be credited completely toward the serving of the sentence, whichever it may be.
(b) If the sentence is imposed under a special criminal law or under the determined sentence regime and consists exclusively of fines, the time spent deprived of freedom shall be credited at the rate of fifty dollars ($50) in fines for each day of deprivation of freedom served. If the fines imposed are less than fifty dollars ($50), they shall be paid with one (1) single day of imprisonment or detention of the convict.
(c) The time a person spends deprived of freedom, under house arrest or therapeutic confinement serving a sentence that is subsequently annulled or revoked shall be deducted completely from the term of imprisonment or restriction of freedom to be served if the person is once again sentenced for the same crime that motivated the sentence annulment or revocation.
(d) If the sentence imposes day-fines or community services, each day of restriction of freedom under subsections (a) and (b) of this section shall be credited on the basis of one unit of day-fines and one unit of eight (8) hours of community services, respectively.
