Good Behavior

Interview with Bill, Rochelle, Joyce, Mikey, Eric, Kirk, Janelle and Claudia

JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior?
Bill: You can receive up to 15% off your sentence. However, in some circumstances you are not truly released on good behavior, but in some cases you are released on probation for the remainder of your sentence (This is also known as Conditional Release Supervision)
Rochelle: Yes
Joyce: No, they did not offer good behavior nor early release
Mikey: you do get good behavior gain time so only had to serve 11 days on a 14 day sentence
Eric: No, my sentence was never long enough to get time off for good behavior.
Kirk: They dont give time off for good behavior, but I did recive 5 days of gain time
Janelle: No. I didn't know they had a such thing. The county is for holding inmates for sentencing.
Claudia: No. I did not complete my sentence at this fcility.

JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior?
Bill: All inmates must serve a minimum of 85% of sentence.
Rochelle: 20 days each month out of 30 or 31
Joyce: I did not know of any time off.
Mikey: 2 days a month or 65 percent of you whole sentence
Eric: I think you can get almost 50% off for good behavior.
Kirk: you recieve five days a month
Janelle: I have no idea about this
Claudia: I don't know as I did not complete my sentence here.

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?
Bill: Most of the time it's simply just fighting. In county, officers don't have much physical contact with inmates in any way (inmates are simply in large cages) so there really isn't anything that you can do that will upset an officer.
Rochelle: Chores and follow the rules.
Joyce: I never witnessed anyone getting time off for good behavior. That doesnt mean it did not happen. I was just not aware of or knew about it
Mikey: just try to keep to yourself dont iritate the guards and dont irritate any inmate dont get caught up trading or bargening for food or other items it will only cause problems and i witnessed myself being let out ewarly for good behavior
Eric: Obviously you need to avoid fist fights, loud arguing, insulting others (especially a guard) and anything illegal - such as drugs, gambling, smuggling, sexual activity, assault of any kind, etc.
Kirk: You cannot some. You must report to work everyday. You must shave daily and keep your shirt tucked in. I witnessed a few people lose time for fighting or smoking.
Janelle: I never knew of this in a county jail. I did see trustee inmates who was allowed to work for a few bucks for commissary
Claudia: I would imagine fights, introducing contraband, visiting someone else's cell, talking through the toilet would prevent someone from receiving good behavior points. I did witness some inmates receiving anofficial CC: correctional action.
