Honor the will of the voters, expand good conduct credit rules for inmates

A plan to expand good conduct credit rules that could speed up release of some California inmates has become a hotly debated topic in the last few months leading to a contentious back and forth between judges.

Fearmongering has led to a campaign against this vital step in decreasing the number of people incarcerated. The plan to increase good conduct credits has become a carrot dangled in the face of incarcerated individuals that are working toward release and are waiting to be reunited with their families, friends and community.

Polinsky found that earning reduced time is a better incentive than earning privileges while in prison. Earning good conduct credits may deter incarcerated individuals from committing crimes in the future while also encouraging greater participation in rehabilitative and educational programs in prison.

The new early release rules would decrease the prison population, an issue the state has been working on for years. With fewer people incarcerated, prison operating costs would be reduced. According to the Legislative Analyst’s Office, the annual cost for California to keep an individual in prison is more than $106,000.
