Home More advice Politics & Law

• Answer #1

  It depends on the laws of your state and how the bills are passed. Also in some states non violent offenders and first timers may be sentenced to 1+ year but actually only serve a portion of it for earning good time which credits off days. In Illinois for instance, 1 year non violent and 1st timer has 50% of his time cut off for good behavior. And when MGT was in effect they could get an additional 90 days....Hence they only served 3 months max for a full year sentence. However, the same does not hold true for all states as the laws differ so greatly.
