Sec. 5. (a) A person may, with respect to the same transaction, be deprived of any part of the educational credit or good time credit the person has earned for any of the following:

(1) A violation of one (1) or more rules of the department of correction.

(2) If the person is not committed to the department, a violation of one (1) or more rules of the penal facility in which the person is imprisoned.

However, the violation of a condition of parole or probation may not be the basis for deprivation, unless the person is confined on home detention as a condition of probation under IC 35-38-2.5-5. Whenever a person is deprived of educational credit or good time credit, the person may also be reassigned to Class II (if the person is not a credit restricted felon) or Class III, Class C, or Class D.

(b) Before a person may be deprived of educational credit or good time credit, the person must be granted a hearing to determine the person's guilt or innocence and, if found guilty, whether deprivation of earned educational credit or good time credit is an appropriate disciplinary action for the violation. In connection with the hearing, the person is entitled to the procedural safeguards listed in section 4 of this chapter. The person may waive the person's right to the hearing.

(c) Any part of the educational credit or good time credit of which a person is deprived under this section may be restored.

(d) This subsection applies only to a person on pretrial home detention. If a person on pretrial home detention violates a condition of home detention, fails to appear as required, or commits escape (IC 35-44.1-3-4), the person shall be deprived of all accrued time earned while on pretrial home detention. The person may also be deprived of educational or good time credit in accordance with this section, if applicable. Before a person may be deprived of accrued time, the person must be granted a hearing to determine whether the person committed the specified violation. In connection with the hearing, the person is entitled to the procedural safeguards listed in section 4 of this chapter. The person may waive the person's right to the hearing.
