and whats about a job in jail?does they will give me a credit time?
I am not sure, it depends on your county jail or prison.
here is some info for Orange County:
How do you determine which inmates qualify for Good/Work Time Calculations?
Section 4019 requires that county inmates receive good time and work time credit unless the
inmates have not satisfactorily complied with the rules and regulations established by the jail or
have refused to satisfactorily perform work as assigned. Section 4019 provides that unless the
inmate is required to register as a sex offender, was committed for a serious felony or has a
prior conviction for a serious or violent felony, the inmate is to receive one day of good time
credit and one day of work time credit (2 days credit) for each four day period in custody. We
have had to determine which inmates have convictions or prior convictions for serious or
violent felonies. The Orange County District Attorney’s Office forwarded a list of “Disqualifying
Crimes” as compiled by the Santa Clara District Attorney’s Office. The list is 9-pages in length
How do the amendments to Penal Code section 4019 affect the Orange County Sheriff’s
Department?
Prior to this change, good time/ work time credits reduce a sentence by up to 33%. The new
rule, for eligible inmates, will reduce their sentence by 50%, rather than 33%. This new law
applies to those already sentenced and in our custody. With respect to defendants that have
been sentenced on and after January 25, the Orange County Superior Court has indicated on its
sentencing orders whether the defendant is eligible for the 50% credits.
