Good Behavior

Interview with Kyle, Randy, Tyler and Dave

JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior?
Kyle: "Good time" in Jefferson County consisted of as much as 10 days a month or as little as 3 depending on behavior, write ups, etc.
Randy: I DID NOT GET ANY TIME OFF FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR
Tyler: For me, I was released only when my bond requirements were completed.
Dave: YOU DID GET 2 DAY FOR EVERY THREE THAT YOU SERVED.

JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior?
Kyle: I believe now it's up to 12 days a month if you're a working trustee
Randy: ONE DAY FOR TWO SERVED I BELIEVE
Tyler: In county as far as I know it might be up to the judge or when you were sentenced.
Dave: ONE DAY FOR EVERY THREE.

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?
Kyle: Fights, tattooing, gambling, stealing other's commissary, graffiti, stealing razors to give personal haircuts, not be cooperative with the guards. Yes people lost good time a lot. Usually they would first be punished by being taken to the "hole" for a disciplinary hearing.
Randy: YOU HAVE TO AVOID ANY WRITE UPS FOR ANYTHING INCLUDING BEING VERBALLY OR PHYSICALLY AGRESSIVE WITH DEPUTIES, FIGHTING, STEALING, AND NOT FOLLOWING BASIC RULES SUCH AS MAKING BEDS ETC.
Tyler: As far as I know it was just following the rules. No contraband, no causing trouble, no outburst of any kind, no fighting. The best thing was to keep to yourself.
Dave: BASICALLY TO AVOID LOSING GOOD TIME YOU HAD TO FOLLOW THE RULES INCLUDING SIMPLE THINGS LIKE MAKING YOUR BED TO AVOID WRITE UPS. MOST LOST TIME FOR ARGUING WITH STAFF.
