Dakota County Jail

Good Behavior

Interview with Shawanda Miller


JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior?
Shawanda Miller: Generally you get 10 days off per month for good behavior as long as you didn't have any problems with the guards or other inmates. Also, if you signed up for STS you also get credit for that time also, so you are able to reduce your sentence. I got out 1 month early between good behavior and STS.

JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior?
Shawanda Miller: 10 days per month

JM: What types of actions do you need to avoid in order to get time off?
Shawanda Miller: Fights, smoking, contraband.
