Good Behavior

Interview with Cesar, Tom, Bruce and Jon

JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior?
Cesar: Yes I did. Well deserved.
Tom: NO I DID NOT, HOWEVER THE AGENT SMITH THE PRIEST THAT CAME IN TO SEE ME AND BROUGHT ME READING CLASSES TOLD ME TO REMEMBER ROMANS 8:58 WE WILL WIN TO ME GOOD BEHAVIOR IN THERE IS BEING OF A POSITIVE MIND AND ACCEPTING THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF YOUR ACTIONS. I DID NOT SHOW UP FOR MY COURT DATE THERE FORE I WAS GUILTY. VERY SIMPLE
Bruce: this time i was going to prison so i really didn't have any county jail good time. i have before gotten out early because of good time, it's usually 1/3 for good time and it's not really hard to keep it, if you are not causing trouble or getting into trouble you got nothing to worry about, its like this, say i got 3 months, then 1 month is good time so if i dont screw up then i only got to do 2 months, and if i do screw up, say horsing around or something then i might lose some of it, 5 days or something, its really kind of hard to loose all of your good time
Jon: I did get off on early behavior but I also got locked down in my cell for multiple days for trying to make a chess board to teach my friend how to play and you aren't allowed to do anything constructive so I got my game thrown away.

JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior?
Cesar: 50 percent at the time I was in. Not sure if that is still the case.
Tom: I THINK BUT AM NOT CERTAIN THAT TIME OFF FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR IS THAT YOU GET 2 FOR 1 AS FAR AS YOUR TIME GOES. IN MY MIND THE SPOKANE COUNTY JAIL WOULD NOT BE MUCH DIFFERENT THAN DOING TIME AT A MAJOR PENNITENTORY. SOME SAY IT IS EASIER TO DO THERE THAN IN THE SPOKANE COUNTY JAIL.
Bruce: i've heard as much as half in prison, but it's only 1/3 in county jail as far as i know
Jon: one third of the time off

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?
Cesar: Stay out of trouble. There are many actions, don't do drugs, or try smuggling them in, no fighting with staff or others. Cause no trouble
Tom: AVOID FIGHTING, NEGATIVE THOUGHTS, ACTIONS, DEEDS
Bruce: hollering out to another inmate after lockdown, horse play with your cell mate or other inmates if you are in the pods, refusing directives from the guards, fighting, being loud,bullying, and that kind of thing will get your good time taken, i have lost good time on occasion for fighting, and for horse playing
Jon: I did not witness anyone lose time off there good behavior but I heard and read that if you got to many infractions and the jail administrator didnt like you they would take time off.
