Where a convicted person who is subject to a conditional sentence is imprisoned as a result of a sentence imposed for another offence, whenever committed, the running of the conditional sentence is suspended during the period of imprisonment for that other offence.
Where an order is made under section 18 (5) (c) or (d) to commit a convicted person to custody, the custodial period ordered shall, unless the court considers that it would not be in the interests of justice, be served consecutively to any other period of imprisonment that the convicted person is serving when that order is made.
Where a convicted person is serving both a custodial period referred to in subsection (2) and any other period of imprisonment, the periods shall be deemed to constitute one sentence of imprisonment.
The running of any period of the conditional sentence that is to be served in the community resumes upon the release of the convicted person from prison on statutory release, on earned remission or at the expiration of the sentence.
