N.J. Stat. § 30:4-140
For every year or fractional part of a year of a custodial sentence imposed upon any person there shall be remitted to the person from both the maximum and minimum term of the person's sentence, for continuous orderly deportment, the progressive time credits indicated in the schedule in this section. When a sentence contains a fractional part of a year in either the minimum or maximum thereof, then time credits in reduction of the fractional part of a year shall be calculated at the rate set out in the schedule for each full month of the fractional part of a year of sentence. In case of any flagrant misconduct the board of managers may declare a forfeiture of the time previously remitted, either in whole or in part, as they deem just.
