Currently, any person who is sentenced to serve jail time in Minnesota will receive credit for “good time” against that sentence if the person is of good behavior in the jail facility. For every two days served in custody, a person will receive an additional day as credit for good time. For example, a person sentenced to serve 30 days in jail or in a workhouse facility will actually serve 20 days. Essentially, sentences in an actual facility are reduced by one third. Also, any days the person spent in custody upon arrest are credited in this manner. So in the example above, a person sentenced to serve 30 days in the workhouse will serve 20 days, and if the person sat in jail for three days when they were arrested, the person will then have only 17 actual days left of that 30-day sentence. Also, any minute of any part of a day is credited as an entire day. A person arrested and booked into a jail on Friday night at 11:59 p.m., and released from jail on Sunday at 12:01 a.m. will have three days credit, even though that person has spent only two minutes more than 24 hours in jail. The “good time” jail credit is not given for time served on electronic home monitoring because this is not spent in a facility, rather it is spent at the person’s home. The only exception to this is Hennepin County, which will currently also give “good time” credit for electronic home monitoring as well.
