How much pretrial conduct credit has been awarded to a defendant convicted of a violent felony?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Barboza, B294011 (Cal. App. 2020):

Under section 2933.1, a defendant convicted of a violent felony shall receive no more than 15 percent pretrial conduct credit. ( 2933.1, subd. (c).) In this case, the court awarded defendant 1195 days of actual credit. Fifteen percent of 1195 is 179.25. Thus, defendant was entitled to 179 days of pretrial conduct credit. (People v. Ramos (1996) 50 Cal.App.4th 810, 816-817 [15 percent limited to largest whole number; no credit for partial days].) However, defendant was awarded only 178 days of local conduct credit.
