Good Behavior

Interview with Jenna, Cris, Mel, Bonnie and Ashley

JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior?
Jenna: No. King count automatically takes 1/3 off your sentence as a standard procedure. I think you only get good time in prison!
Cris: na
Mel: Yes. I was sentenced to 100 days. I served 67 days and was released. I think by default you get 1/3 off your sentence. If you get a new charge (i.e, contraband, assault, breaking N.C.O) your "good time" goes away.
Bonnie: No, infact I was punished, along with numerous other inmates for "failing inspection", which if you have to ask what that means, I woulndn't be able to tell you, why? Well, because when I had asked the lady doing the inspections why I had failed, she in return gave me no response! When I tried calling her on the intercom, she ignored me four different times.
Ashley: I was only there 25 hours

JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior?
Jenna: I'm not sure, I have never been in jail or prison long enough to receive this offer.
Cris: na
Mel: As far as I know, 1/3.
Ashley: na

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?
Jenna: Well I would think staying out of trouble, no fighting, killing or offensive behavior. The best thing to do is get into clubs, meetings, duties, working in the kitchen anything to keep you busy.
Mel: fighting, smoking anything, drugs, flipping the staff attitude.
Bonnie: Depends on the person, and the mood of the officer in control..
Ashley: na
