When an inmate begins their sentence they are given "good time" or "gain time" of 15%. Therefore the inmate is set to do 85% of their sentence. If they get into situations where incident reports mount up, they could ultimately have their good time taken away. Discipline cannot add time to their sentence unless a new crime (assault, escape, attempted murder, murder) was committed and they were found guilty.
