Programs listed below in red are approved for Earned Time Credit
An inmate is entitled to at least four months of earned time credit for completing a program associated with the highest-ranked priority in his or her Case Action Plan and at least four months of earned time credit for completing a program associated with one of the other recommended programs in his or her Case Action Plan.
These programs do not need to be completed sequentially (an offender can receive earned time credit for successful completion of a lower priority program before completing his or her highest-ranked priority program). The Utah Board of Pardons & Parole may grant additional time cuts for completion of other programs, but the Board is not compelled to do so.
If an inmate completes a program before he or she is given a release date, the Board will keep record of the program completion and take it into account during the inmate’s next hearing. Inmates sentenced to life without parole by the Courts, or those with an “expire life” decision from the Board are not eligible for time cuts.
