Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

My boyfriend was given a 16 prison sentence & released to the streets on May 17 time served.

When he went to check into parole he was told the judge had made an error & gave him an

illegal sentence. The minimum is 2 years. They said he would have to go back to court to get

resentenced & serve the additional time. Can they do this? He is sitting in San Joaquin

County Jail unsentenced & goes back to court July 17. Please help me with the correct legal jargan

that will get him released ASAP. Thank you
