A bill introduced to clarify the calculation of \u201cgood time\u201d for individuals serving city or county jail sentences passed May 14.<\/p>\n
Currently, after 15 days of confinement, an incarcerated person is eligible to earn day-for-day good-time credit toward their sentence for following rules and not engaging in prohibited conduct. <\/p>\n
LB640, sponsored by the Judiciary Committee, requires that the good-time sentence or sanction reduction be determined using the aggregate of the remaining term of a person sentenced to or confined in a city or county jail, including the sum of all consecutive sentences the person receives, whether received at the same time or at any time during such sentence or confinement.<\/p>\n
