Good Behavior

Interview with Harry, Qtip, Hanna, DoneMyTime, Linda, Missy, Josh and Alex

JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior?
Harry: No, this usually only applies in prison.
Qtip: Nope
Hanna: I think if you have a felony and you are attempting to receive two for one which is rewarded by the jail, then good behavior is taken into account.
DoneMyTime: don't know
Linda: NO TIME SERVED.
Missy: NO I DID NOT.
Josh: Yes. I only served 8 of the 10 days.
Alex: No. I was cooperative and friendly but that did not have an effect on my stay. After all, it was not a long stay to begin with.

JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior?
Harry: I'm not sure.
Qtip: I dont know
Hanna: I am not sure.
DoneMyTime: don't know
Linda: I HAVE NO IDEA.
Missy: NONE.
Josh: In Cobb County, GA, if an eligible offense, one may earn 2 for 1 starting after the 5th day of incarceration.

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?
Harry: Again, not sure.
Qtip: Dont get wrote up
Hanna: Get written up by the jailers. This might be due to fighting, contraband, anything that attracts negative attention to you.
DoneMyTime: getting into fights
Linda: NO FIGHTING. STAY ON THE GUARDS GOOD SIDE.
Missy: FIGHTING AND DOING THINGS THAT YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD'NT BE DOING.
Josh: The Inmate Handbook lists Minor Offenses and Major Offenses. If a Hearing Officer finds a violation, an inmate may lose commissary, visitation, "good time credit" or be transferred to a higher security level pod or prosecuted. Offenses range from beating on the walls, failing to appear for count (5:10 a.m. and 5:10 p.m. daily), making false statements, possession of contraband, refusal to obey an order from staff, sexual activity, fighting, etc...

This is untrue. If you are sentenced to time up to 12 months, in Cobb County they have 2 for 1, less the first 5 days. So, if you are sentenced on November 1st to 30 days in jail, your "two for one" does not start until November 6th. Then each day counts as 2. You should techincally be released on/around 18th.

My son was just revoked 4 months of probation. He is a trustee and we were told that he would do 2 days for 1. Is this correct?

The two for one deal does not apply for all inmates. Contact the sheriff's office for exact release dates.
