For every day in prison prisoners get 1 day off sentences. IF YOU FIGHT THOSE NASTY PAROLE HEARINGS. 20 yrs MAY mean 10.5 yrs. IT TAKES 2 YRS TO GET TO TRIAL AND IT COUNTS AS PART OF THE SENTENCE IF FOUND GUILTY.
Our 11 month 29 day facilities serve 90 days. DUI’s do time on weekends. Most of this level of criminals have 20-50 priors. Revolving door.
