Heading: Denial of Good Time Credits

Text: 14 Because good time credits accumulated during a regular term are forfeited upon a parole revocation, Thompson is no longer entitled to the SGT and EGT he had earned prior to his parole revocation. He is now only entitled to the good time credits he earns during his parole violator term. Bentsen v. Ralston, 658 F.2d 639, 640 (8th Cir.1981) (per curiam) (and cases cited therein). See 28 C.F.R. Sec. 2.35(b) (1986) (only function of good time credits is to determine time for conditional or supervised release; good time credits earned have no further effect to shorten the time to serve because of a violation of parole). Consequently, the SGT and EGT credits which Thompson had accumulated prior to his parole in 1984 no longer have any effect. 15
