Interview with Ryan, Alex, George, John, Diana and Maria
JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior? Ryan: YES Alex: Yes about 5 months off. George: NO John: because my charges are not violent, abusive,
drunk driving or drug related, i normally get
the standard 33 percent off. Diana: No my time was served I did have good behavior but I served a
of my time and was release but I knew a person who got two
months off Maria: Nope. I sure didn't get off early for good
behavior. I don't think. To be honest, I really
don't remember.
JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior? Ryan: 1/3 RD OFF WAS MAX Alex: In pierce county its 33% unless they "lotto" you out due to
overcrowding (very very common). George: 1/3 OFF John: in my case, its always possible to hit the
lotto. it depends solely on the jail's
population and the charges. Diana: Two months off for good time Maria: I think it's a third.
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? Ryan: FIGHTS, NOT FOLLOWING RULES Alex: You have to have committed a non violent crime and not a DUI and
no infractions while in custody. George: GETTING IN TROUBLE John: pissing off the staff and simply being juvenile
while in custody. Diana: You have to follow the rules all of them keep out of trouble yes
if witnesses someone getting out early for there good behavior
so this is true Maria: You need to avoid fighting, stealing, argueing with
the corrections officers, and not keeping your cell
clean. Yes, I've witnessed girls losing their good
behavior time for one reason or another.
