how do i find out about fla rules on 85% serve time in jail?

Question

i was told that if you make a plea agreement, for no probation..that if you serve 85% of the time, then you have no conditional release or any type of probation. my friend made that deal and now he is being told that it is considered early release and he has to serve the rest of the time in the original judgement on condidtioal release...7-7 curfew..urine tests, etc?
who can i contact to find that out? his lawyer says that he has to see his case worker...i think the lawyer should take care of this

Answer 1

The 85% rule is to prevent felons from being released before they had served at least 85% of their sentences (in other words, good time and other credits cannot reduce their time to less than 85% of the original sentence). Anytime you are released on parole, you remain under community supervision, generally until your sentence is up.

Answer 2

Call the Florida probation agency. They'll know...
