Sec. 18-7a. Good conduct credit for prisoners.
Subsec. (c):
Habeas court found to have improperly determined that petitioner was not eligible for good time credits. Court's
interpretation of good time statutes has the potential of burdening defendant in such a manner so as to conclude that the
statutes are penal in nature. In resolving a latent ambiguity as to whether defendant was eligible for good time credits the
rule of lenity applied. 101 CA 52.
