My best friends husband was sentenced to an 18 month sentence, 9 months in our local County Jail, 9 months suspended. We are in New Mexico. She and I have searched most of the day for info on whether or not he has to do the full 9 months in County, OR if he qualifies for the "good time" credits.
He is a non-violent offender, and is participating in the work release program, and has had no problems so far.
Can anyone help me with finding out if the sentence is the full 9 months, or if "good time" applies? Thanks in advance!

Call the county in which he was CONVICTed or try the PRISON he is in.

Usually the county sheriff that runs the jail will control the amount of behavior credits the inmates can accumulate. I would call the sheriff's department, ask for the deputy in charge of the jail and ask the questions there. If they don't know, they should be able to direct you to the right person.
