COMMENT
RCW 9A.44.128(6).
This instruction uses the statutory language verbatim. If it would aid the jury's understanding, it may be useful to use an alternative formulation, such as: “A person is deemed to be in the community if he or she is incarcerated or confined for an offense that is not a disqualifying offense,” or “A person is not in the community if he or she is incarcerated or confined for a disqualifying offense.”
