Section 38
Disposition versions
38. An offender whose conduct is respectful towards the personnel and the other inmates may earn remission time.
Remission time may be earned provided the person complies with the regulations and directives of the correctional facility, observes the conditions of a temporary absence and participates in the programs and activities included in his or her plan for reintegration into the community.
Remission is calculated on the basis of one day of remission for two days of imprisonment during which the person complies with the conditions provided for in this section, up to one third of the sentence.
