He gets no "street time" meaning that the only real credit he has is when he was in custody. So, he is serving 5 years and 8 years but because they are concurrent, the 5 year sentence is "eaten up" by the 8 year sentence. It will not extend the sentence past 8 years. However, it can and will affect when he will be paroled. A guy with 2 cases does not get paroled as quickly as a guy with 1 case. Moreover, it depends on what the new case is. He is likely to get at least a 2 and possibly a 3 year set off.
