Wyoming Administrative Code › Agency 001 - Governor's Office › Sub-Agency 0001 - Good Time Allowance for Inmates of Penitentiary, Honor Farm › Chapter 0 - GOOD TIME ALLOWANCES FOR INMATES AND PAROLEES OF THE WYOMING DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS › Section 0-3 - Award of Good Time

Current through July 13, 2024
(a) If the inmate has the proper and helpful
				attitude, conduct and behavior in an institution, to include time served in
				county jails in accordance with the Judgment and Sentence and from date of
				sentence until transfer to a WDOC facility, the Warden may award good time for
				each month served, which will reduce the minimum and/or maximum sentence to be
				served.
(b) Good time may be
				awarded to an inmate not to exceed fifteen (15) days per month for each month
				served of his or her minimum and/or maximum sentence.
(c) When an inmate enters a WDOC institution,
				a projected discharge date will be calculated based upon the full potential
				good time award, including any good time credit for time served in the county
				jail, on the maximum sentence. Such calculation does not constitute an award of
				or entitlement to good time but is merely for administrative purposes. This
				date can never be earlier than the date on which the minimum sentence will
				terminate.
(d) When an inmate
				enters a WDOC institution, a projected parole eligibility date will be
				calculated based upon the full potential good time allowance, including any
				good time credit for time served in the county jail, off the minimum sentence.
				Such calculation does not constitute an award of or entitlement to good time
				but is merely for administrative purposes.
(e) WDOC must consult with the county sheriff
				to determine whether good time should be awarded to an inmate or parolee before
				awarding good time for credit for time served in the county jail.
(f) Upon request by the Board, or upon WDOC's
				own determination, WDOC shall conduct a mutli-disciplinary team meeting to
				determine if a change in circumstances warrants the award of good time for time
				spent in county that was previously withheld. The recommendation shall be
				presented to the Warden for a determination if the award should be granted. The
				final determination is not subject to appeal and this subsection does not
				create a right for an inmate or parolee to request such a
				determination.
(g) Any parolee or
				inmate who has exceeded his/her minimum sentence on July 1, 2020, will receive
				a projected discharge date on the maximum sentence only. The projected
				discharge date shall be calculated based upon potential good time awarded as a
				WDOC inmate and the good time awarded for credit for time served in the county
				jail in accordance with the Judgment and Sentence along with any time served in
				the county jail from the date of sentence until transfer to the WDOC
				facility.
(h) Good time awarded for
				time served in county jail, which includes credit for time served in accordance
				with the Judgment and Sentence and from date of sentence until transfer to a
				WDOC facility, shall not apply to sentences discharged before July 1, 2020, but
				shall apply to current sentence(s) and to any subsequent sentence for which the
				trial court ordered jail time to be credited.
