Prison System Mistakenly Adds to Inmate Firefighter Sentences
The good conduct system California recently implemented is mistakenly adding time to inmate firefighters’ sentences. Officials have fixed the malfunction and are working to recalculate the sentences.

(TNS) — California prison officials created new good conduct credits in May designed to speed up the releases of more than 76,000 inmates, but one segment of the prison inmate population — inmate firefighters — are seeing the length of their sentences increased, at least on paper, inmate advocates and family members say.
"We've been receiving lots of complaints from people whose loved ones had their release dates lengthened by significant periods of time, sometimes months, if not a year or more," said Don Specter, executive director of the Berkeley-based Prison Law Office that advocates for inmates.
