Sec. 260.1. Application of good behavior allowances

(a) The opportunity to earn good behavior allowances offers inmates a tangible reward for positive efforts made during incarceration.

(b) For those inmates serving indeterminate sentences imposed for crimes committed prior to September 1, 1967, good behavior allowances shorten the amount of time to be served prior to parole consideration.

(c) For all inmates serving determinate or indeterminate sentences (other than life sentences) who are not granted parole or a reparole, but who nevertheless have performed well within the correctional facilities, good behavior allowances can be used to obtain release under supervision and to demonstrate prior to expiration of the term of the sentence that they can follow acceptable behavior patterns in the community as well as in a correctional facility.
