SB 980 Good time credits earned in jail.

Introduced by: W. Roscoe Reynolds | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Good time credits earned in jail. Allows only the trial or sentencing judge to authorize jail inmates, whether felons or misdemeanants, to work on community projects and limits the good time credits available to felons 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 the 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.
