001-0 Wyo. Code R. §§ 0-3 - Award of Good Time

(a) If the inmate has the proper and helpful attitude, conduct and behavior in an institution, to include time served in county jails in accordance with the Judgment and Sentence and from date of sentence until transfer to a WDOC facility, the Warden may award good time for each month served, which will reduce the minimum and/or maximum sentence to be served.

(b) Good time may be awarded to an inmate not to exceed fifteen (15) days per month for each month served of his or her minimum and/or maximum sentence.

(c) When an inmate enters a WDOC institution, a projected discharge date will be calculated based upon the full potential good time award, including any good time credit for time served in the county jail, on the maximum sentence. Such calculation does not constitute an award of or entitlement to good time but is merely for administrative purposes. This date can never be earlier than the date on which the minimum sentence will terminate.

(d) When an inmate enters a WDOC institution, a projected parole eligibility date will be calculated based upon the full potential good time allowance, including any good time credit for time served in the county jail, off the minimum sentence. Such calculation does not constitute an award of or entitlement to good time but is merely for administrative purposes.

(e) WDOC must consult with the county sheriff to determine whether good time should be awarded to an inmate or parolee before awarding good time for credit for time served in the county jail.

(f) Upon request by the Board, or upon WDOC's own determination, WDOC shall conduct a mutli-disciplinary team meeting to determine if a change in circumstances warrants the award of good time for time spent in county that was previously withheld. The recommendation shall be presented to the Warden for a determination if the award should be granted. The final determination is not subject to appeal and this subsection does not create a right for an inmate or parolee to request such a determination.

(g) Any parolee or inmate who has exceeded his/her minimum sentence on July 1, 2020, will receive a projected discharge date on the maximum sentence only. The projected discharge date shall be calculated based upon potential good time awarded as a WDOC inmate and the good time awarded for credit for time served in the county jail in accordance with the Judgment and Sentence along with any time served in the county jail from the date of sentence until transfer to the WDOC facility.

(h) Good time awarded for time served in county jail, which includes credit for time served in accordance with the Judgment and Sentence and from date of sentence until transfer to a WDOC facility, shall not apply to sentences discharged before July 1, 2020, but shall apply to current sentence(s) and to any subsequent sentence for which the trial court ordered jail time to be credited.
