§ 244.44. APPLYING EARNED INCENTIVE RELEASE CREDIT
Earned incentive release credits are included in calculating the term of imprisonment but are not added to the person's supervised release term, the total length of which remains unchanged. The maximum amount of earned incentive release credit that can be earned and subtracted from the term of imprisonment is 17 percent of the total executed sentence. Earned credit cannot reduce the term of imprisonment to less than one-half of the incarcerated person's executed sentence. Earned incentive release credits are revocable if the person violates rules of the facility where the person is incarcerated or otherwise commits a criminal act while incarcerated.
