PURPOSE OF ORDER:
The purpose of this order is to establish procedures for the calculation of percentage releases where the remaining balance of an inmate’s statutory sentence is greater than 180 days.
SCOPE OF ORDER:
This order shall apply to all personnel assigned to and/or working in any capacity at the Inmate Reception Center (IRC) or the IRC Records Section.
Inmates serving sentences non- traditional county sentences (e.g. post release community supervision flash incarceration) or for designated “M-7” charges are not eligible for percentage releases. The full list of “M-7” charges and other release criteria are available upon request to the IRC Records office.
ORDER:
When calculating a percentage release, if an inmate’s remaining statutory sentence (as shown in AJIS) is greater than 180 days, the inmate shall serve their sentence until they have less than 180 days remaining.
Example 1: If today is September 12, 2018, 180 days from today would be March 11, 2019. An inmate with a statutory release date of February 26, 2019, may be released as a percentage release because the statutory release date is less than 180 days from today’s date.
Example 2: If today is September 12, 2018, 180 days from today would be March 11, 2019. An inmate with a statutory release date greater than 180 days from now (e.g. any date after March 11, 2019), must wait until after March 11th to be released. In these occurrences, the percentage the inmate serves may be higher than the designated release percentage.
