days of statutory good time) at the time he committed the felony of promoting prison contraband, 
as opposed to the 894 days DOC previously determined that Craig had accrued at the time (303 
days of meritorious good time and 591 days of statutory good time).  Because this correspondence

Court is AFFIRMED.
