Good Time Jail Credit

Illinois law allows people convicted of most felonies to serve just half of their sentences.  It means for everyday a person does not get in trouble, they get a day taken off their sentence.

People convicted of more serious felonies, which includes serious drug offenses, have to serve at least 75 percent of their sentence.

People convicted of violent crimes that cause great bodily harm to people have to serve at least 85 percent of their sentence.

People convicted of first-degree murder have to serve 100 percent of their sentence no matter what.#dayfordaycredit, #goodtimejailcredit,
