A. Jim, I think we addressed this before. The RRRI minimum sentence only applies to state sentences served in a state facility where the Board of Probation and Parole is the paroling authority. So RRRI only applies to that. The county reentry plan can apply to a county sentence; a max of less than two years served in a county jail for which the court has paroling authority. If the court makes a person eligible for county reentry, then good time/earned time – any types of programs like that authorized in the county or provided by the county – would apply to those sentences.
