I know calculation of gain time can get quite confusing and we have seen quite a few threads on this subject. If you need help with calculating a release date or knowing how gain time works, please contain it to this thread so when other members come along with the same question it can be easily found.

Thanks

okay. my babe got 54 months at broward for a vop. he has 6 months in already. for that. with his 85% we figured that he would get out 2012 like september... cuz 85% is 46.. and he has done 6 already.

but........

he has a charge in st lucie that he got 13 months for. he already served 6 months and 20 days for it. consecutive to the 54 months.

he is in the reception center now....

so for his second case when will he get out?
and does his st lucie case start right after the broward one??

ughhh confusing. someone help me out. my baby has bad anxiety.

As far as what you are saying, just add on 6 months and 10 days to his sentence and then do the 85%. Or, call his CO when he gets to his permanent camp and she should be able to tell you.

This is a bit confusing, but if it is consecutive and not concurrent then yes I am assuming he will just start on that time as soon as his other time has been served. So I would just add the remainder of the time to be served on that charge to what you've figured for the other charge

my husband was given 5yrs june 24 09 seems like forever ago but how do i figure out when he comes home to me

chuckiesmom · #6 05-16-2009, 04:03 AM

My son's 85% date comes up February 2010 but due to loss of gain time for DC, his release date is currently 1-8-2011. He is medium custody but can't seem to catch a break to earn any gain time back. Any idea's? Thks.

MissJoey777 · #7 10-23-2009, 07:06 PM

He was sentenced to 39 months, has almost 4 months in already, we are figuring Feb 2012. Any ideas?

lynda2684 · #8 10-29-2009, 11:02 PM

Right now my fiance's date is at 6-2-2010, I have calculated that with the 10 days of gain time he gets a month he will be at 4-13-2010 in March, where it is confusing me is that does not include April or March. Does anyone know if they prorate anymore, he mentioned something to me about how they use to call it pro-rating but now it is something else. Also can someone tell me if my calculations are right for 4-13-2010?

chuckiesmom · #9 04-29-2010, 03:11 AM

My son got a boggus DR for putting 2 seperate letters to family members in 1 envelope (he's at Franklin CI) he got 30 days in the box and 90 days loss of gain time. Well he didnt have any gaintime to give back so they said he wont get any new gaintime till he pays back whats owed. Can they do that? He's passed his 85% date I think they are just giving him a hard time.

If he's maxed out on gain time then he does have gain time to forfeit, how does he not have gain time to lose? Seems to me he would have to make up those 90 days to get back at the date he was already at before the DR.

my boyfriend was sentenced last month he got 4yrs in prison for burglary/structural damage and this is his first time ever getting in trouble so my question is how long would he actually have to spend in prison?

ricoswifey · #12 05-17-2009, 07:52 AM

My husband was also sentenced to 4 years...as long as he gets all his gaintime, he'll have to do 85%...so about 41 months... They also might give him credit time served for the amount of time he's spent in the county jail. When his release date shows on the DOC website, it won't show the early release date...As long as he gets his gaintime, it will go down 10 days each month until he gets to his 85% date (41 months)

40.8 months if no credit for time served was given and all possible gain time is earned

prissy121 · #14 06-01-2009, 04:23 PM

How can i figure a release date for my grandson? He was sentenced to 1 yr and a day on Jan 30th 2009 and given credit for 119 days time served. However DOC did not pick him up till April 14th from Orange county jail. Will he get credit for that time also between jan 30 and april 14. They have him listed getting out end of December this year. Confusing to me. If something is not correct who do I contact.

So my question was moved and I am in correct section now and this is where i look for any answers. Sorry about listing in wrong section, not very good at this computer stuff.

boop's mom · #16 06-01-2009, 11:00 PM

All the time served in county should count. He has to serve 85%. He will start to earn gaintime now he is in prison, the 1st couple of months he may only get 4 days, then 10 per month if he doesn't get any write ups. So his latest date out would be sometime in Dec and his earliest would be 192 days from when he went in. 85% of 366 days is 311 days -119 served=192, so maybe late oct, early nov.

he was in jail from oct 5th 2008 so oct 6th 2009 would be the whole sentance of a year and 1 day. where does the gain time and days in credit go toward him. he sat in jail a litlle over 6 mos of this time is why i dont understand his release date. still confused

KCFOREVER · #18 06-02-2009, 01:18 PM

his time will actually start from the date of sentencing--so it would be Jan 30 2009 to jan 31 2010--minus the days hes given credit for then 85% of days in DOC-no gain time for the county time-

bird. · #19 06-13-2009, 09:01 PM

My boyfriend was sentenced to 5 years, and 4 months in prison [Which is 64 months] he has spent 8 months in county. So how much time will that be with 85%?

That equals 54.4 months which is 46.4 after credit for time served (if they gave him that) if he earns all his gain time. He can earn anywhere from 0-10 days a month gaintime. However, he can only earn up to the 85% gain time release date.
EX: If he earned 10 days for each month of the 64 months he was sentenced that equals 640 days of gain time. However, he is only eligible for 288 days of gain time.

They cannot earn any gaintime that will bring their release date before the 85% date.
They should have given him a paper when he got there with his 85% date though.

I Have A Question About The Date My Fiance Will Get Out. He Is Currently At R.M.C- West Unit In Lake Butler Florida Awaiting To Be Brought To His Permanent Facility. He Was Arrested January 8, 2009 At The Orlando Jail And The Judge Said SHe OWuld Give Him Credit For His Jail Time Towards His Prison Sentence. He Was In There For 5 Months And 6 Days. His Release Date From Prison Is Currently April 21, 2014. He Was Sentenced Though To 5 Years, 4 Months And 11 Days. Im Not Sure How To Calculate His Gain Time. I Heard They Get 10 Days Gain Time In Prison. Can Anyone Tell Me The Date He Will Get Out?? Please... Im New To This Whole Thing. I Would Really Appreciate It.. Thank You

ejordan865 · #22 07-16-2009, 05:33 PM

Let's me try! His sentence is 5 years = 60 months
He have to do 85% = 51 months (reduce 9 months)
Gain time he can earn : 51months x 10 day= 510 days= 17 months
But they only accept : 270 days = 9 months as maximum because gain time no longer is applied to reduce the sentence.
It mean if he can earn all gain time, he only do 42 months, he will come home at July 15, 2012

love baby · #24 08-16-2009, 11:51 PM

Ok so they judge told my boyfriend he had to do the min mandatory of 5 yrs and 1 month, but he's been gettin gaintime the last 2 months, so if anyone can help me, he was sentenced 5yrs 1month.

Sorry I am a little late, finally saw your post. They took away 60 days for a dr and his current release date is 11/7/2013 so will his release date be Sept 3, 2012???? I really dont get how to calculate so confused.
