2. What are the various types of Gaintime?
A. Incentive Gaintime (s. 944.275(4)(b) F.S.) is awarded to inmates for institutional adjustment, work and participation in programs.
i. The awards are made on a monthly basis as earned unless prohibited by law. (These awards are typically posted by the 15th of
the following month.)
ii. The award amount varies in relation to the inmate's rated performance and adjustment.
iii. If the crime(s) was committed before 7/1/78 and/or after 6/15/83 but before 1/1/94, the inmate may be eligible for up to 20 days a month.
iv. Inmates who committed crime(s) on or after January 1, 1994 may earn up to 25 days of incentive gain time per month, if the crime falls within levels 1 through 7 of the revised sentencing guidelines.
v. If the crime(s) was committed on or after January 1, 1994, the inmate is eligible for up to 20 days per month of incentive gain time, if the crime(s) falls within levels 810
vi. For crimes committed on or after October 1, 1995, inmates are required to serve 85% of each sentence imposed. Satisfaction of 85% includes time served in the county jail as credited by the sentencing court.
These inmates are eligible to earn up to 10 days per month incentive gain time.
This gain time is earned until the tentative release date reaches the date equal to 85% of the sentence imposed. At that point, gain time no longer is applied to reduce the sentence.
For example, at a rate of ten days per month you can earn approximately 913 days of gain time while in service of a ten year sentence. However, due to the requirement that at least 85% of the sentence must be served, only 548 days, or 1 and 1⁄2 years, could apply to the release date.”
