Good Behavior

Interview with Lance, Ana and Jack

JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior?
Lance: No, I did 180 days.
Ana: Yes. I served 85% of my sentence, which is the minimum, because I never received one ticket or disciplinary infraction.
Jack: No I served a sentence which consisted of four months flat.

JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior?
Lance: They do not offer time off for good behavior.
Ana: 15% in a prison. If you are sentenced to a county jail, you can get 2 for 1 (50%) if you become an inmate worker.
Jack: In Arizona state i believe you can receive up to 15 percent off for good time.

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?
Lance: N/A
Ana: You simply cannot break any rules. This ranges from not smoking (state facility) in an inappropriate location to not fighting (any facility). In some facilities you cannot even walk in certain areas (usually lined off with colored paint). In state facilities, there are also requirements such as attending general education classes if you cannot meet the 8th grade level requirements. Yes. Quite a few people lose time for bad behavior. This includes participating in homosexual (lesbian) relations in any facility. That happened quite a bit.
Jack: You need to stay out of trouble in order to receive time off. You must obey the rules and be polite and respectful to people who do not treat you with the same respect. I witnessed someone lose their good time when officers found drugs on in their possession.
