Interview with Sarah, Sam, Corey, Emma and Jeff

JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior?
Sarah: yes
Sam: I got off, 2/3 out of the year. I did 8 months on that and 3 monhts on the other.
Corey: yes i did. but the "Goodtime doesnt matter because you have already done so much of yer time...thats why some guys prefre to max out""....that way they dont have to deal with parole .
Emma: I was able to get off early based on good behavior.
Jeff: the jail takes off one third of your time if you behave yourself and don't give staff any headaches

JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior?
Sarah: one month
Sam: 1/3 of your time.
Corey: i think its 2 months for ever 12 months yer in.
Emma: From what I understand, at the Monroe County Jail, one must serve two-thirds of their sentence. This is equal to the amount of Good time in this facility.
Jeff: one third of your original 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?
Sarah: negatuve and things against the rules
Sam: Gambling, getting caught with contraband and stuff like that.
Corey: Stay away from the drugs, and fallow the rules, but if you got a dirty cop working,,it doesnt matter..if an inmate is only supposed to get a tier 2 ticket, that cop will turn it into a tier 3 and thats it..you lose yer good time. i had to beg for the sargent to not take my good time. becasue of a bad cop..
Emma: The things to do to receive good behavior are pretty simple. Do not fight with other inmates- verbally AND physically. Respect ALL the guards and do not talk bad about them with other inmates or guards, as they will find out. Do not steal from other inmates, or the guards. Be quiet when guards indicate quiet time. And basically stay under the radar, be good and good things come as a result!
Jeff: well you need to avoid fighting. disrespecting staff or not obeying a direct order. and yes I have seen guys lose a week here and there for acting out. and I have only ever seen one fight. and they guy lost a week and was able to get it back
