What Constitutes ?Good Behavior? in Prison?

Making the bed, showing up for the head count, and keeping bodily fluids to yourself. On his first day at Middlesex County jail, Ravi will receive a list of prohibited acts that could result in what correctional officials call ?institutional charges.? A disciplinary committee, made up of officials from the jail, rules on such charges and decides whether an inmate loses good-behavior credit, and how much. The list of prohibited behaviors in jail handbooks is long, but most of the offenses are obvious, like assault, extortion, hostage taking, ?throwing bodily fluids,? indecent exposure, and drug possession. Some violations, however, are specific to prison life, such as possessing a mobile phone, ?engaging in sexual acts with others,? ?possession of money or currency,? ?using abusive or obscene language to a staff member,? ?failing to stand count,? loaning possessions, tattooing, and wearing a disguise. (Although, technically, several states prohibit disguises on public streets as well.) Failing to make the bed or mop the floor can also get a prisoner in trouble, as New Jersey jails prohibit ?unsanitary or untidy? cells.
