Interview with Hillary, Tye, Eva, Richard and Victor
JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior? Hillary: No, I wasn't serving a sentence. Tye: i got ten dasys a month earned time from doc Eva: no i was sent to the dept of correction where i was
released on my mandatory release dat Richard: nah, not in county, ok yes there is 2 days a
month if you're sentenced but that isnt
including pretrial detainees, but what exacatly
is 2 days a month adding up to. Victor: no. everything went through a drawn out
process. I don't really know anything about a
good behavior plan.
JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior? Hillary: Yes if you are sentenced and sign up to be a
trustee. You work in the laundry room 12 hours
a day 6 days a week. For being a trustee you
can get 11 days off per month. Tye: 12 days a month best case. Eva: up to 15 days a month if given a county sentence.
otherwise your given pre sentence confinement and
that is given for every day spent incarcerated and
applied to your over sentence Richard: 2 days a month is all you can receeive Victor: I don't really have any idea.
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? Hillary: You have to become a trustee. Once you get
booked in you can sign up for trustee. As long
as you are sentenced you can be a trustee. Tye: smoking tattooing fighting talking shit to the
co's - yes i witnewssed all of the above actoins
as well as the loss of earned time for these
infractions Eva: i have witnessed several altercations fights and
even assualts by inmates on officers as well as vice
versa. pretty much you just have to do what is asked
of you be the correctional officers Richard: Just follow to the rules to avoid time off, but
sometimes the deps try to irritate you so you
break the rules so they can write you up or
tackle you and slam you with 20 cops. Yes, i
witnessed people losing good time, just for
write ups Victor: One of the trustees got demoted from gareweay to
regular trustee. don't really know how to avoid
time off for good behavior and I don't know
about a plan for this.
