Interview with Tim, Adrian, Maria, Ashley, Lindsay, Victor, Deborah and Katherine
JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior? Tim: No. I got out because they couldn't keep me any
longer. Also, expedited slightly due to Judge Lee
(No. Las Vegas). Adrian: no Maria: That wasn't applicable to my case since I was
being held for a sentencing hearing. If anything,
I was kept longer than was necessary not being
released until 4 am the day after seeing the judge. Ashley: NO I HAD A SET RELEASE DATE BUT YOUR GOOD TIME IS
INCLUDED IN THAT DATE.I WAS SUPPOSE TO DO A YEAR
BUT THEY GAVE ME 9 MONTHS THAT INCLUDED MY GOOD TIME Lindsay: Unfortunately, no. I was in there for 30 days flat,
so I didn't have that option. However, I was never
punished for my behavior. Victor: No such thing exists where I was locked up. I
asked around when I was in population and of
Correction Officers and I was told the only time
you get released early is if you are someone
important((politician, celebrity, rich)(IE: Floyd
Mayweather(famous boxer) was released 3 months
early for good behavior after being convicted of
Domestic Violence and doing time at the same
facility where I was locked up).) Deborah: As I said I was asked to be a worker so I got time off my
sentence. 15 days early release. Katherine: NO I DID NOT LET OFF EARLY BECAUSE OF GOOD TIME.
JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior? Adrian: dont really know Maria: I have no information to share in this area. Ashley: I AM NOT SURE BUT I GUESS 3 MONTHS A YEAR Lindsay: From what I have been told, if you are sentenced for
30 days, then you are only there for 20. Other than
that, I am not sure. Victor: Once again, I am not rich or famous so the most time
I could have received off was none. Deborah: I got off 15 days for working. But every other women also had
time taken off for good behavior. Katherine: I AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH 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? Adrian: bad behavior I would asume Maria: I don't have any reliable information in this area
but imagine it's the same as when you don't make
your bed and you're supposed to, the CO can tell
you that you don't get to come out of your cell on
breaks. You lose privileges. Ashley: JUST LISTEN TO THE C.O.DONT DO NOTHING YOU ARE NOT
SUPPOSE TO DO.LIKE HAVE CONTRIBAN.DONT FIGHT WITH
OTHERS,DONT BE MESSY,HAVE A GOOD ATTITUDE AND YOU
SHOULD BE OKAY Lindsay: Just follow the rules, do EVERYTHING you are told by
the C.O. Don't ever get in fights or break more
laws while incarcerated. Like I said, it's better
to do your own thing and mind your own business. Victor: You need to avoid getting into fights or
affiliating yourself with a gang to avoid getting
more time. The actions I needed to avoid to get
time off were: being poor, not being famous, not
being a politician, not having friends in high
places. I never witnessed anyone losing time off
for good behavior; the only one I witnessed
getting time off for good behavior was Floyd
Mayweather. Deborah: Any type of altercations, sharing food. Abusing telephone
privileges, disrespecting staff, not making your bed, any type of
contraband and also getting to close to another inmate. Cause
God forbid you get a hug. Katherine: WELL I GUESS IN ORDER TO GET GOOD TIME YOU HAVE
TO BE GOOD DO NOT GET IN TROUBLE. YES I DID
WITNESS SOMEONE FIGHTING AND
