Good Behavior

My husband said something about good behavior to me on the phone the other night. I was wondering what exactally that is? Is there a possibility that he will be out sooner because of this? How soon will his case be evaluated? If he gets out on good behavior how much sooner does he get out or is there a set limit as to how much time you actually have to serve? I know lots of questions, but I was just curious.

It depends on the jail and how overcrowded they are becoming. Where James is you have to serve 80% before you're eligible for good behavior. Try logging on to the prisons website they might have info there. Where James is they have an inmate search and it gives all that info. It should also list his next evaluation date. Hope that helped.

I do not know if this will tell you what his release date is but it is worth a try.

I know in the Federal System you are only alotted 54 days a year for good behavior, and anything under a year and a day must be served in full. Hope the information helps.

Yeah I tried looking it up, but for some reason he's not showing up on anything. He's only in a county jail so it's possible that they don't treat the freedom of information as much as the state prisons do.

If your husband hasn't been sentenced yet then they won't release him unless he meets bail or the judge ors him.

He should show up somewhere. It may state he is in transit if he has not fully been sentenced. If he has a number than he should be listed somewhere. I am posting another site to see if he may show up there. Good Luck!

No he's already been sentenced. He's just been sentenced to serve his time in a county jail. When you live in a place that only has around 7,000 people in the entire county, state prisons aren't an option.

Each state varies in good behavior so it could be anywhere from 70% to 100% time served. I hope it's on the lower end. Hope for the best, but expect the worst.

Scott is in on a mandatory minimum so he gains no good time. It will vary state to state.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
