Good Behavior

Interview with Shawn, Tom, Linda, Margaret and Laura

JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior?
Shawn: No and yes
Tom: Yes. My final sentence was 90 days in jail cause I could never afford the anger management classes I needed to attend and honestly didnt want to do the volunteer work to pay for them either. I ended up doing 60 days instead of 90.
Linda: No. I did not get out early for good behavior.
Margaret: NO I DIDNT GET ANY TIME OFF FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR.
Laura: the San Bernadino County as a whole was letting non-violent crimes less time than normal die to severe over crowding.

JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior?
Shawn: 20% of my time
Tom: I think its 1.3 in the county system, 50 percent in the prison system.
Linda: I don't know how much time people get off for good behavior.
Margaret: IM NOT SURE TO BE HONEST.
Laura: Hslf time, I think. Im not sure.

JM: What types of actions do you need to avoid in order to get time off? Did you ever witness somebody losing time off for good behavior?
Shawn: To abide by all rules and regulations and to not get any writeups for causing trouble
Tom: Basically just follow the rules. Dont get into fights, or any kind of conflict. Respect the guards, and basically do your time and get out.
Linda: In order to not get extra time added to your sentence you have to avoid getting into fights. You have to make sure you don't have anything you are not suppose to have like contraband.
Margaret: YOU NEED TO AVOID FIGHTING WITH OTHER INMATES AS WELL AS FIGHTING WITH THE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS. YOU NEED TO OBEY THE RULES AND LAY LOW. I HAVE WITNESSED SOMEONE LOSING THEIR GOOD BEHAVIOR TIME OFF.
Laura: You cnt get into any fights, or any disciplinary action taken against you. I have witnessed plenty of peoplebeing held in isoalation or the hole as its called.
