Re: Loss of Inmate Good Time
Good time may be lost by an inmate who violates the rules of the institution or who commits a crime while in prison.
Good time should not be lost for an administrative mistake, and if the problem cannot be corrected through administrative channels it may be necessary to file a suit for reinstatment.
