Section 12-54.1-04 - Basis for meritorious conduct sentence reduction

Meritorious conduct sentence reductions may be awarded for any of the following performances or acts:

1. Exceptional quantity and quality of work far beyond normal expectations for the job assignment.

2. Beneficial suggestions resulting in substantial savings to the state.

3. Acts of outstanding heroism.

4. Acts which protect the lives of employees or other inmates or the property of the institution.

Meritorious conduct sentence reductions must be awarded upon written recommendation of the warden and approved by the director of the department of corrections and rehabilitation on a lump sum basis resulting from separate recommendations and approvals. Such reductions may not be awarded on a continuing days-per-month basis beyond the month in which a reduction award is made. Such sentence reductions may not be granted for any month in which the performance sentence reduction under section 12-54.1-01 was withheld or forfeited.
