Section 107.120  Good Time Schedules Applicable to Felony Sentences

a)         Statutory good time on indeterminate sentences, with reference to the minimum and maximum sentences, shall be calculated in accordance with the following table for persons sentenced prior to June 1, 1977, if the schedule contained in the table would be more beneficial than awarding day for day good conduct credits as of February 1, 1978.

*AGENCY NOTE:  On the maximum sentence, six months of good time is earned for each additional sentence year.

b)         Statutory good time on indeterminate sentences, with reference to the minimum and maximum sentences, shall be calculated in accordance with the following table for all persons sentenced to the Department of Corrections on or after June 1, 1977, but prior to February 1, 1978, for establishing the time credit for that portion of the sentence which was served prior to February 1, 1978.

*AGENCY NOTE:  Three months good time shall be earned for each additional sentence year.

1)         For those persons whose sentences are calculated under the table in subsection (b) of this Section, the remaining portion of the sentence served on or after February 1, 1978, shall be credited with day for day good conduct credits.

2)         For a person who is sentenced on or after June 1, 1977, but prior to February 1, 1978, for an offense committed prior to June 1, 1977, the table in subsection (a) of this Section shall be used if it would be more beneficial in calculating the minimum or maximum sentence or both.

c)         Compensatory good time shall be earned on those indeterminate sentences or portions thereof which are calculated under the statutory good time tables.  Compensatory good time shall normally be awarded at the rate of seven and one-half (7½) days for each month in custody.  Committed persons shall receive compensatory good time on a prorated basis during the month placed in and released from custody in accordance with the following table.

d)         Committed persons shall not be eligible to receive compensatory good time against that portion of their sentence which is calculated under day for day good conduct provisions.

1)         A committed person shall not be awarded compensatory good time for any month during which he or she is reported by his or her work or program supervisor for carelessness, negligence, or refusal to work, providing such action is recommended by the facility's Adjustment Committee and approved by the Chief Administrative Officer.  No committed person shall lose any compensatory good time credits because he or she was unable to work or participate in a facility program through no fault of his or her own.

2)         Any committed person placed in segregation or confinement for a period of three days or more during a given month pursuant to a hearing before an Adjustment Committee shall not be awarded compensatory good time for that month.  However, no person shall lose compensatory good time for more than one month pursuant to such a hearing unless he or she is placed in segregation or confinement for at least 10 additional days during the second and subsequent months.

3)         Any committed person placed on investigative status shall receive compensatory good time for that month if the investigation findings indicate that the committed person did not commit a violation.

4)         Every committed person assigned to a community correctional center shall be credited with compensatory good time unless an Adjustment Committee finds that he or she has violated disciplinary rules.

5)         Any awarded compensatory good time may not be revoked.

e)         Good conduct credits, with reference to the minimum and maximum sentences, shall be calculated by awarding one day of good conduct credit for each day served for all committed persons sentenced on or after February 1, 1978, if such credit would be more beneficial than statutory and compensatory good time credits.

f)          Good conduct credits, with reference to determinate sentences entered on or after February 1, 1978, for offenses which were committed prior to August 20, 1995, shall be calculated by awarding one day of good conduct credit for each day served.

g)         Good conduct credits, with reference to determinate sentences for offenses committed on or after August 20, 1995, shall:

1)         Not be awarded to any person for a term of imprisonment for first degree murder.

2)         Be calculated by awarding 4.5 days per month for each month of imprisonment for persons serving a sentence for:

A)        Attempt to commit first degree murder, solicitation of murder, solicitation of murder for hire, intentional homicide of an unborn child, aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated battery with a firearm, heinous battery, aggravated battery of a senior citizen, or aggravated battery of a child; or

B)        Home invasion, armed robbery, aggravated vehicular hijacking, aggravated discharge of a firearm, or armed violence with a category I weapon or category II weapon, when the court has entered a finding that the conduct leading to conviction for the offense resulted in great bodily harm to a victim.

3)         Be calculated by awarding one day of good conduct credit for each day served on the period of imprisonment or recommittment as a parole or mandatory supervised release violator for all offenses not listed in subsections (1) or (2) of this subsection (g).
