How does it work in there for fines do you get credited time

If you go in and have fines or restitution owed, you definitely will have money taken from your commissary account to start paying down that amount.

If you go in and have fines or restitution owed, you definitely will have money taken from your commissary account to start paying down that amount. As far as credited time, every inmate begins their bid with "earned good time". In almost every case, that is 15%. Misbehavior and incident reports can cause the loss of this time. Anytime spent incarcerated will count as a day, whether it's an hour or 23 hours, you get credit for "one day".
