Description

Penal Code section 2933 offers state prisoners who participate in qualifying work, training and educational programs the privilege of earning "worktime credit" (id., subd. (a)) against their sentences. Ordinarily, the maximum rate at which a prisoner may earn worktime credit is 50 percent, or one days credit for each days participation. Other statutes make worktime credit unavailable, or available only at a reduced rate, to prisoners convicted of designated offenses. (E.g., Â§Â§ 2933.1 [violent offenses], 2933.2 [murder].) This case concerns section 2933.1, subdivision (a), which provides that "any person who is convicted of a felony offense listed in subdivision (c) of Section 667.5 [i.e., a violent offense] shall accrue no more than 15 percent of worktime credit, as defined in Section 2933."
