Yes, most sentences are only served to the 85% mark. Good time credit is 15% and given to every inmate as they enter prison, an inmate can only lose goodtime. On a 10-year state sentence or 120 month federal sentence, the sentence served would be 102 months. This providing that the inmate remain in good standing, not full of incident reports, disciplinary transfers, etc.
