Section one hundred forty-seven of the 42 correction law shall not be deemed to permit such disclosure. For 43 purposes of this section, any report, memorandum or other information 44 forwarded to a probation department within this state from a probation 45 agency outside this state is governed by the same rules of confidential- 46 ity.

In all cases where a part or parts of the report or memoranda 7 are not disclosed, the court shall state for the record that a part or 8 parts of the report or memoranda have been excepted and the reasons for 9 its action.

When a43person, other than a second or persistent felony offender, is sentenced44for a class D or class E felony, and the court, having regard to the45nature and circumstances of the crime and to the history and character46of the defendant, is of the opinion that a sentence of imprisonment is47necessary but that it would be unduly harsh to impose an indeterminate48or determinate sentence, the court may impose a definite sentence of49imprisonment and fix a term of one year or less.505.] Life imprisonment without parole.

In the case of an 17 indeterminate sentence, if the minimum period of imprisonment has been 18 fixed by the court or by the board of parole, the credit shall also be 19 applied against the minimum period.

Where the 37 charge or charges culminate in more than one sentence, the credit shall 38 be applied as follows: 39 § 15.
