Good Behavior
Interview with Julie, Inmate's Sister, Houston, Claire, Jim, DK, Smyth, Ken, Charlene, Greg, GMan, Jamie, Leisha, Toby, Lisa, Brandy and Consuela
JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior?
Julie: NO I made bail
Inmate's Sister: he deserve to get out early because he is
innocent and for the old things he did back in
the days he paid for it thats all he talk about
is having good behavior and inmates and guards
bother with him everyday so he can mess up.
Houston: NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Claire: No, not that I knew of.
Jim: No went to TDCJ
DK: no
Smyth: No
Ken: Yes
Charlene: no, my hearing did it
Greg: I did what I needed to do, get over the 18 day'
s.
GMan: No
Jamie: no
Leisha: no harris county don't care about good abding
citizens
Toby: in harris county jail everyone gets 2 for 1
basically so unless u f**k up u are going to get
2 for one
Lisa: Yes.
Brandy: no
Consuela: Yes, my probation was terminated three months
early due to good behavior. But as far as them
letting me out early hell no.
JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior?
Julie: NO for sure
Inmate's Sister: wouldn't know
Houston: I dont think that is allowed
Claire: Well, they do give the 2 days credit for each day served, if that's
considered time off.
Jim: As a normal general population inmate you get
two for one, if you are a floorworker (trusty)
you get three for one. This only applies to jail
time or time sentenced in county not the prison
system.
DK: none
Smyth: Have no idea since it didn't apply to me.. only
if your sentence is to stay long term at Harris
County Jail do you get any time off. Don't know.
Ken: I believe that County time is 2 days credit for
1 served.
Charlene: n/a
Greg: none,
GMan: I have no idea
Jamie: -----------------
Leisha: 3 for 1
Toby: like i said u don't get time off for good
behavior in harris county.
Lisa: I don't know.
Consuela: I am not sure.
JM: What types of actions do you need to avoid in order to get time off?
Julie: NO fighting i would assume
Inmate's Sister: all fighting anything that will get him caught
up.
Claire: I don't know what I'd have to do.
Jim: In county any "case" you get will follow you to
TDCJ and go on record. All you have to do is
obey their rules ad avoid hanging wit the groups
who cause trouble.
DK: none
Smyth: Have no idea.. went to state jail.. you could
pound someones face in every day and leave on the
same day.
Ken: Avoid confrontation with other inmates. Do what
you are told. Don't argue with Jailers about
anything. Go to your assigned work detail.
Charlene: na/
Greg: get your butt in shape and get over the bs, and
move on. Your paying alot to a man who will talk
infront of a judge and you need to look ur best.
GMan: I have no idea
Jamie: ----------------------
Leisha: no fighting, community srevicea
Toby: same answer as the top
Consuela: Any foolishness like drugs.

My boyfriend made trustee status today, and he says that he gets "paid" x amount of dollars per day to work on the side of the roads in one of the precincts in Harris County. Does he get 3 for 1 when a trustee? Also, does the money he "makes" go towards his bond amount? Please help! :)

|
|
My son is about to be transfered to the harris county jail for 3 traffic tickets he did not pay for. All fines total $890. How long will he have to stay in jail?

Is it 2 days credit for one day served if it is a probation violation for 10 days. Will it just be 5 days?
|
|
Yes, it should be 5 days if you got sentenced for 10. As of Oct. '08 HCJ had nearly 12000 inmates. They are "allowed" to hold 9300 so 2 for 1 is pretty standard for most cases.
|
|
my son was at 1307 baker and was moved today to 701 san jacinto because he was make a trustee. does that mean he gets 3 for 1 and can get out sooner.
|
|
It is a myth that trustees get 3 for 1. They get 2 for 1 like everyone else.
|
|
how can on offender b charged with an agg. w/deadly weapon case if offender was not caught armed
|
|
an offender can be charged with anything, however the burden of proof lies on the state. A person/offender caught unarmed can be convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon if the state can prove through witness statements and other evidence. It's what you have done in a crime not the way you were caught.

Do the prison rapes we hear about happen at the county level?
|
|
No - in fact, you would get your ass kicked if you tried anything like that in county - that kind of thing goes on in prison, though.
