A PLEA TO ALL VICTIMS OF CRIME

On July 1, 2011, the Connecticut General Assembly passed Public Act No. 11-51, which, in part, provides the ability for eligible offenders to earn credit for participation in programs, work assignments, and good conduct and obedience to departmental rules.  An offender is eligible to earn five days of risk reduction earned credit each month.  The credit will be applied, retroactively dating back to 4/1/06 and will be applied to both the eligibility date for discretionary release as well as to the offender’s discharge date. 

Inmates convicted of Murder; Capital felony, Felony murder, Arson murder, Home invasion, and Aggravated sexual assault 1^st are ineligible.

If you have received a letter from the Department of Correction informing you of the earned credit program, please contact the Office of the Victim Advocate at
