ELLINGTON, J.
The maximum punishment for every offense is set by the legislature. The total punishment, including imprisonment and community custody, may not exceed the statutory maximum. Where a defendant is sentenced to the statutory maximum, and also sentenced to community custody, the judgment and sentence should set forth the statutory maximum and clarify that the term of community custody cannot exceed that maximum.
