Good Time Credits

Good Time Credits are reductions in a prisoner's sentence earned through positive behavior, participation in programs, or other constructive activities while incarcerated. Essentially, instead of serving the full term, individuals can earn these credits as a reward, effectively shortening their time in prison. This system encourages rehabilitation, discipline, and engagement in programs that promote personal development. When applicable, the credits are subtracted from the original sentence, allowing for an earlier release, contingent on rules and approval by correctional authorities.
