Good Behavior

Interview with Harry, Qtip, Hanna, DoneMyTime, Linda, Missy, Josh, Alex, Gary, Greg, Charlie, Melissa, Harley, Billy and Jimmy

JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior?
Harry: No, this usually only applies in prison.
Qtip: Nope
Hanna: I think if you have a felony and you are attempting to receive two for one which is rewarded by the jail, then good behavior is taken into account.
DoneMyTime: don't know
Linda: NO TIME SERVED.
Missy: NO I DID NOT.
Josh: Yes. I only served 8 of the 10 days.
Alex: No. I was cooperative and friendly but that did not have an effect on my stay. After all, it was not a long stay to begin with.
Gary: allways do get off with good behavior. i am there to do my time and get out.
Greg: no
Charlie: No, because I was not doing time when I was in jail, I was waiting to be sentenced the entire time I was in there.
Melissa: I was released early but, I have no idea why I was released early. I was very cordial to anyone I spoke to within the jail, including the nurse, inmates, an inmate serving breakfast, the guards, the sheriff who transported me from the visitation center down to booking, the cops present while I was being booked, and the guard taking my finger prints. Be very respectful, but do not try to befriend them. I believe this helped because people are not usually very cordial to these people.
Harley: yes i did get good time for good behavior... stay out the way
Billy: YES I DID GET GOOD TIME 4 MON OFF THATS WAS GOOD.
Jimmy: yes i got off for being good time . yes

JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior?
Harry: I'm not sure.
Qtip: I dont know
Hanna: I am not sure.
DoneMyTime: don't know
Linda: I HAVE NO IDEA.
Missy: NONE.

Greg: dont know
Charlie: I am unsure of this.
Melissa: I have no idea.
Harley: 3 mon for good time
Billy: 4 MONS OFF FOR GOOD TIME
Jimmy: 4 mon 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?
Harry: Again, not sure.
Qtip: Dont get wrote up
Hanna: Get written up by the jailers. This might be due to fighting, contraband, anything that attracts negative attention to you.
DoneMyTime: getting into fights
Linda: NO FIGHTING. STAY ON THE GUARDS GOOD SIDE.
Missy: FIGHTING AND DOING THINGS THAT YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD'NT BE DOING.
Josh: The Inmate Handbook lists Minor Offenses and Major Offenses. If a Hearing Officer finds a violation, an inmate may lose commissary, visitation, "good time credit" or be transferred to a higher security level pod or prosecuted. Offenses range from beating on the walls, failing to appear for count (5:10 a.m. and 5:10 p.m. daily), making false statements, possession of contraband, refusal to obey an order from staff, sexual activity, fighting, etc...
Charlie: I never witnessed anyone getting out early for good behavior, but I did witness many times when time was added to people's sentences based on bad behavior.
Melissa: I do not know the actions one needs to avoid in order to get time off. I was told the girl who caused the fight was being sent to solitary confinement which is called "the hole." I am unsure of what happened to the other two women who were beat up, but they were removed from the pod as well.
Harley: no fights cant get in know trouble at all stay too yourself listen too the officers do what u told too do thats all u have 2 do
Billy: NO FIGHT , STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE THAT WAS SMOKIN, FIGHT AND MORE OTHER THINGS . JUST STAY TOO OTHERS U KNOW AND DO WHAT U WAS TOLD AND U WILL BE OK..
