JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior? Lena: There wasn't any chance of that for me. Janis: No my time was mandated. I got good
time conduct credits, but I had to be
transferred, so it really didn't help. Anna: No I was able to get out early because I found out
while incarcerated that I had a tumor in my
pituitary gland. Malcolm: yes, i got out 40 days early because of good
behavior and the fact i was a trustee worker
JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior? Lena: Usually it's half time. Janis: Usually one day off for every two days of
good conduct. I'm not sure what is now
though. Classes or other programs and
church attendance can get you time off
as well. Anna: I actually have no idea. Malcolm: you can get 1 third of your time off
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? Lena: What you would expect. Don't give the guards any
trouble. That's true for my situation at least. Janis: Fighting, disrespecting the deputies,
argumentative, smoking cigarettes, doing
drugs, bringing drugs into the facility,
illegal cell phone use....some of these
things not only get you time off but a
new case too. Anna: I have no idea. I thought that was only prison. I
remember I heard that an inmate had to mop floors
in order to get out of suicide watch. Malcolm: you must follow all jail house rules and keep your
leaving space neat at all times..I saw many ppl
lose good time for fighting and stealing mostly..
