Good Conduct Time

In this document, the Bureau of Prisons is issuing interim regulations for the awarding of good conduct time pursuant to the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PLRA). Pursuant to the PLRA, in awarding good conduct time credit, the Bureau shall consider whether the inmate, during the relevant period, has earned, or is making satisfactory progress toward earning, a high school diploma or equivalent degree. This interim rule provides that an inmate subject to the PLRA shall be awarded the full 54 days credit for good conduct time (prorated when the time served by the inmate for the sentence during the year is less than a full year) if the inmate has earned or is making satisfactory progress toward earning a General Educational Development (GED) credential. The interim rule further provides that an inmate subject to the PLRA shall be awarded 42 days credit for good conduct time per year (prorated when the time served by the inmate for the sentence during the year is less than a full year) if the inmate has not earned or is not making satisfactory progress toward earning a GED credential. The amount of good conduct time awarded is also subject to disciplinary disallowance.
