Tentative denial for DAs to stop conduct credits scheme
Last month, a different judge temporarily barred the prisons department from enacting the rule change, which would increase good conduct credits from 50% to 60% for certain second strike inmates who are classified as nonviolent.
A Sacramento County judge tentatively denied Tuesday a group of district attorneys' request for a preliminary injunction to stop the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation from increasing good conduct credits for second strike inmates.
Judge Shama H. Mesiwala then held oral arguments and took the matter under submission. Her tentative ruling denied the district attorneys' injunctive request on the basis of standing.
