    imprisonment at the time an indeterminate or a determinate sentence of
    imprisonment is imposed shall be delivered to the custody of the state
    department of corrections and community supervision to commence service
    of the indeterminate or determinate sentence immediately.

    sentence was imposed. A person who is serving a sentence of intermittent
    imprisonment at the time an indeterminate or a reformatory sentence of
    imprisonment is imposed shall be delivered to the custody of the state

  2. Definite sentences. If a definite sentence of imprisonment is
    imposed on a person who is under a previously imposed sentence of
    intermittent imprisonment, such person shall commence service of the
    definite sentence immediately. Where such definite sentence is for a
    term in excess of thirty days, the service of such sentence shall
    satisfy the sentence of intermittent imprisonment unless the sentence of
    intermittent imprisonment is revoked, or a warrant is issued pursuant to
    subdivision three of section 85.10 of this article and prior to
    satisfaction of, or conditional release under, such definite sentence of
    imprisonment.
