Good Behavior

Interview with Matthew, Michelle and Art

JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior?
Matthew: Yes. My initial sentence was for 60 days, or 15 if I had good behavior. I was released on the 15th day.
Michelle: no. i was bonded out and am still going through the court process.
Art: No..you do not get released early if your good if you do something posotive..doesnt matter your gonna do ur time

JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior?
Matthew: Depends on what the judge says/sentences to you. Once the judge sets a sentence, very rarely has it changed for me, regardless of any of my offenses that have cost me to stay in jail. Judge sets the sentence, You abide by it, with little to no changes.
Michelle: i think if the judge does give you jail time as a sentence he can also impose that you get what they call 2 for 1. but in order to keep that you have to get a job in the jail and stay out of trouble. i think if you get in trouble and lose your job then you lose your 2 for 1.
Art: Most time you can recieve for good behavior is 2days for 1 or 2 day early kick thats it

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?
Matthew: No fighting, arguing, using weapons, making alcohol, stealing, hiding food, not making your bunk, or taking things from work places (such as taking food back to your cell, if you work in the kitchen). Yes I have but it was already set for them, prior by the judge.
Michelle: as far as i know the 2 for 1 thing is the only sort of early release county jail sentences give. and the sentenced people are housed seperately. early release for good behavior really has more to do with state prison sentences.
Art: Yes i havr lost time for good behavior ...just gotta mind your owe business listen to the co s and just stay as busy as you can
