Current inmates whose crimes were committed while these credit statutes were in effect are entitled to have terms of imprisonment reduced by such credits. The Department of Corrections grants the inmate the credit or combination of credits most advantageous in accordance with ex post facto court rulings. Lost Credit Inmates are subject to lose earned credits as punishment through the disciplinary process for infractions of Department of Corrections rules and regulations. Trained staff will review the charge, interview the inmate, and render a decision. If found guilty, punishment, established per degree of violation, is rendered.
Due process is maintained through several levels of appeal.
Actually Served on a Sentence Since statehood, Oklahoma law has provided for some type of credit to be applied as a sentence reduction. The following methods can be used to approximately project the amount of time to be served on a given sentence based upon class level and emergency time credit eligibility. Project the number of days that would actually be served using the projected release rate for Level 2. If the inmate is eligible for emergency time credits, use the corresponding projected release rate. Projecting the amount of time actually served does not consider the possible loss of credit due to misconduct, jail time granted, future class level changes, court ordered modifications, or release on parole.
