Any person who commits a FELONY on or after December 31, 1999, and is sentenced to at least one year of confinement in prison would have their prison time followed by a period of extended supervision upon release. Offenders will not have their sentence reduced for good behavior; however offenders who violate prison rules may have additional days added to the confinement portion of their sentence. Once an offender completes the confinement portion of the sentence, he/she will be released and will be supervised by a Department of Corrections (DOC) agent. This supervision period is referred to as extended supervision (ES).
