Good Behavior

Interview with Lola, Eve, Pat, Peter, Al, Trevor and Camille

JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior?
Lola: Yes. Weekly trips to the counselor suggested early release. A month before my early release, I was sent to the trailers which allows more visits, and better food.
Eve: No.
Pat: yes
Peter: My sentence was straight time only no good time was applied at all.
Al: yes i got 5 days a month for good behaior which i did
Trevor: no there was no good time or anything like that for my charges
Camille: No, I did not get off early based on good behavior. I got out because someone decided I would be released, at their whim. Yes, this is America.

JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior?
Lola: 1 month
Eve: Don't know. I know there are several programs in place that you can attend that will help give you time off.
Pat: 5 days a month
Peter: According to YCP handbook it was 1-2 days off for every 30 days of good behavior, as long as the set guidelines were met.
Al: 5 days a month is the most
Trevor: 5 days a month I believe.
Camille: I have no idea what the most time is someone can receive for good behavior.

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?
Lola: No fights, always showing up for count, chores needed to be done, and no complaints from guards.
Eve: Fights with inmates, being written up by the guards, missing medications or just not following the program.
Pat: you cant get sent to BAU get right ups and you have to be good
Peter: Fights, insubordination, not following ( if charges were drug related) Rehab style counseling meetings AA meetings misses if required to attend, as well as Anger Management Classes if recommended to attend. If all these were completed successfully good time was issued if not successful good time was taken away. I witness about two getting time taken away but many receiving it for good behavior.
Al: yes i have seen people get in fights and then rumor would be that they did not get out on there relase date and had to stay however long determined by the jail
Trevor: fighting or getting written up, pretty much anything the guards don't like. they will write you up for anything and if they are having a bad day and you get in trouble they will make you do something.
Camille: I guess if someone were able to get off for good behavior in York County Prison, they would have to follow all the rules and not get into any verbal altercations with guards or other inmates. I can't say I witnessed someone losing time for good behavior, but I did witness women being sent to the hole for not following the rules or ignoring an instruction from a guard.
