Prison Sentence Calculator by JailGuide

Prison Sentence Good Time Calculator, or, Earned Good Time Calculator basically operates on the theory that for an amount of good time that is earned it reduces the total amount of time in prison or jail. The prison sentence calculator is located further below on this page.

Some have questioned why this calculator was made. We would like to offer that the calculator is used for people who strive to do better for themselves as well find out how much time off a prison sentence can be earned by doing good.

This site is not only for the prison inmate, or soon to be prison inmate; this site is also intended for the victims of crime. Its for those people who wish to know how long an inmate will be in custody. We chat more about this topic in the "Who We Are" page.
