Good Behavior

Interview with Lisa, Bill, Ron, Cindi and Holly

JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior?
Lisa: No, I got out on Sunday as planned.
Bill: no
Ron: No, I was released after sentencing.
Cindi: You get 1 day of "good time" for every 10 days served
Holly: Yes, I didn't have any problems while I was there so I was given good time credit.

JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior?
Lisa: It is my understanding that a person's time is cut in half for good behavior. I am not sure about that though.
Bill: Dont know
Ron: 1 day off for every 3 days done, if you also work, or are taking GED classes, otherwise 1 day for every week. So 20 day months maximum.
Cindi: I am not sure there is a limit
Holly: I believe it is up 26 or 30 days in clackamas county jail.

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?
Lisa: Aretha Franklin said it best R-E-S-P-E-C-T of my female inmates. No one knows where a person started having trouble with the law and why. Judging is not allowed.
Ron: Don't disrepect the guards...Give them the one thing they are demanding; compliance. If you are a worker, don't pick on the sex crimes people, don't talk to non-trustee inmates, and just keep your mouth shut if you're going to say anything stupid. You need to lose your ego...They have the power.
Cindi: No fighting, no drugs. I did see someone lose their good time for drug use. But the deputies try to make it so you don't lose your good time. They don't want you in there for longer than you have to be.
Holly: You need to avoid going to the "hole" which means following all the rules set forth by the jail and the guards. No contraband, no fighting, are just examples. I did witness someone losing good time because they were not performing correctly in their job at the jail.
