What is the effect of a rule that retroactively retroactively applies to conduct credit?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Sage, 165 Cal.Rptr. 280, 26 Cal.3d 498 (Cal. 1980):
I concur in the judgment and opinion of the court except insofar as the rule announced today is given retroactive effect. The purpose of conduct credit is to foster good behavior and satisfactory work performance. (People v. Saffell (1979) 25 Cal.3d 223, 233, 157 Cal.Rptr. 897, 599 P.2d 92.) That purpose will not be served by granting such credit retroactively.
