Bill Summary
Relative to the application of good conduct sentence deductions for completion credits earned during pre-trial detention. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to allow for the application of good conduct sentence deductions for completion credits earned during pre-trial detention. Specifically, it adds language to clarify that "Prisoners" includes those held in pre-trial detention, and it adds a new paragraph to specify that deductions and completion credits earned during pre-trial detention will accumulate but only become available once the individual is sentenced. These accumulated deductions will then expire upon the prisoner's final release from custody related to those charges, and cannot be applied to future incarcerations.
