More details to this question:
In the state of Idaho, if a judge gives someone credit for time served and then the correctional institute says that’s not the way the order for time served was intended and doesn't credit for time served the way the judge agreed to, what is the time frame for a judge to fix the error and what steps would be taken if a new credit for time served order needed to be put in place?

The Judge has 120 days to correct a sentence. A lawyer would need to file a motion requesting the corrections to be made within that 120 day time frame.
