How long does it normally take it to find out if a inmate has received their good time?

Inmates receive good time at the beginning of the sentence.

Inmates receive good time at the beginning of the sentence. As the time is served, the inmate can only lose the good time they are given by receiving incidence reports. Normally, good time is 15% of the sentence.
