The purpose of this bill is to provide that offenders of certain criminal offenses are not entitled to the deduction from a sentence of incarceration for good conduct. These offenses include an inmate sentenced to a life sentence, certain offenses relating to crimes against the person, sexual offenses, child abuse, or human trafficking. The bill also requires that all persons not eligible for good time have one year of mandatory post-release supervision following the first instance in which the inmate reaches his or her calculated discharge date; and providing that all inmates so released are subject to electronic or GPS monitoring for the entire period of supervision.

To clarify when inmates may receive “good time” or time served
