‘Good time’ under
review by prison board
□ Prisoners to see cutbacks on credit
system designed to shorten time served.
HUNTSVILLE (AP) — The so-called “good time”
credits given to Texas prison inmates are coming under
the scrutiny of the Texas Board of Criminal Justice,
whose new chairman is committed to stiffening credits
that have allowed convicts to get out of prison early.
“That’s extremely important in restoring confi
dence and integrity in the criminal justice system in
the state,” Chairman Allan Polunsky said.
The board takes up the question of good time at its
regular meeting, set for Friday in Austin.
“I’m committed to the continuation of the refor
mation of good time policies,” Polunsky said. “And
certainly that was one of Gov. Bush’s platform
planks in his election.
“I’m strongly committed to initiating the changes,
or effectuating the changes, that need to be made to
tighten up good time.”
FYisoners now entering the system accrue 40 days
of good time for 30 days actually served.
Polunsky says that makes no sense. If good time is
continued, it should be at a much lower rate, he says.
The combination of good time and actual time
served, known as flat time, can speed up an in
mate’s release date.
In addition, he wants to stop restoring previously
earned good-time credits to inmates returned to the
corrections system as parole violators. And he says ac
cumulation of good time must be extended if an in
mate violates prison rules.
The changes are the result of a billion-dollar prison
expansion program that added more than 100,000
beds over the past five years, allowing incarceration of
more convicts and more violent and repeat offenders.
The board meeting, which began Thursday with
subcommittee sessions, is the first full board meet
ing with Polunsky as chairman. The San Antonio
real estate lawyer was named by Bush earlier this
month to replace Democrat Carol Vance, an Ann
Richards appointee.
Polunsky already had been on the board, named
more than seven years ago by then-Gov. Bill
Clements, a Republican. He is the only Republican
on the panel.
