Introduced by: W. Roscoe Reynolds | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)
Good time credits earned in jail. Limits the good time credits available to a jail inmate serving a felony sentence or awaiting felony disposition who works outside the jail to those credits set forth in Article 4 (§ 53.1-202.2 et seq.) of Chapter 6 of Title 53.1, i.e., no more than 15 percent of his sentence. Currently, a judge may allow or, in some cases, require, a person convicted of a felony to work on state, county, city or town property, with the consent of the county, city, town or state agency or the local public service authority involved, for such credit on his sentence as the judge may prescribe in his order.
