To determine which statement is incorrect about "good time," let's break down each option:
A. "Good time serves to control inmate misconduct."
Explanation: Good time refers to a system in which inmates can earn reductions in their sentence for maintaining good behavior. This statement is correct.
B. "Good times refers to recreation and meal times in prison."
Explanation: This statement is incorrect. Good time in the context here does not refer to recreation or meal times in prison. Instead, it refers to the reduction in sentence an inmate can receive as a reward for good behavior.
C. "Good time does not use threats of additional punishment as an incentive for inmates to behave in prison."
Explanation: This statement is correct. Good time is a positive reinforcement system, meaning it rewards inmates for good behavior rather than relying on threats of punishment.
D. "Good time does not reduce time served as a reward for no violations of prison rules."
Explanation: This statement is correct. If an inmate does not violate prison rules and demonstrates good behavior, they can earn good time, which translates into a reduction in their overall sentence.
Based on the explanations above, the correct answer is B. "Good time refers to recreation and meal times in prison."
