PRISON FELLOWSHIP: good time credit

  • Prison Fellowship News & Updates
Increasing “Good Time” for Federal Prisoners

A current practice in the federal prison system is to allow inmates to accrue “good time” credit for model behavior during their incarceration.  Prisoners can receive up to 54 days* a year for avoiding disciplinary issues during their time behind bars, which can then be removed from the end of their sentence.
