(1) Mixed Sentences. An inmate serving a sentencing structure that has any combination of house of correction and state sentences shall have the parole eligibility date for each component sentence determined.

(a) House of Correction. An inmate serving concurrent house of correction terms shall be eligible for parole as provided in 120 CMR 200.02(1).

(b) State Prison. An inmate serving concurrent state prison terms shall have parole eligibility determined by calculating the parole eligibility date on each component sentence as provided in 120 CMR 200.02(2) and determining which component carries the latest date. The latest date shall control parole eligibility for the aggregate sentencing structure.
