Prison Sentence Calculator Disclaimer

The Jail Guide Prison Sentence Good Time Calculator has a disclaimer on it for good reason. Oftentimes, inmates will be written up for infractions whereby it might decrease their good time.

Jail Guide Prison Sentence Calculator Disclaimer

Disclaimer of Warranties and Accuracy of Data: This prison sentence calculator is for entertainment purposes only... and here is why: Information regarding the time of total incarceration is, and cannot be, ever accurately calculated. There are other factors involved with a proper calculation of good time credit. Some instances may be loss of good time due to circumstances beyond an inmates control.

Some offenses do not warrant the total amount of good time as others. For example: Some states reduce or delete the good time credit for murder convictions yet give more credit to those who have simply stolen property, drug offenses or other non violent crime.

We suggest you to try the "Inmate Search" feature at JailGuide.com and click on the link to the prison you're interested in viewing and read the information for yourself. To find the prison for any state, click on "Search By State Prison" or "Search by Federal Prison" to find the institution's information.
