Incentive Gain-time

Summary

The bill would let the Florida Department of Corrections award extra time off a prisoner's sentence for completing vocational certificates, education, rehabilitation or work‑preparation programs, and for showing constructive use of time. It also sets minimum time‑served thresholds—65 % for non‑violent felonies and 85 % for other felonies—before any gain‑time can reduce a sentence below those levels. The measure aims to encourage inmate participation in programs while ensuring public safety.
