Description

WOLVERTON, Judge. The issue presented by these cases consolidated on appeal is whether the various trial courts properly interpreted former
AS 33.20.010, the statute enacted in 1960 governing "good-time credit" for sentence reductions due to good behavior while
in custody. The trial courts uniformly interpreted this statute as requiring computation of good-time credit according to
the "block" method used by the Alaska Department of Corrections (DOC) from 1960 through 1971, rather than by the "accrual"
method that the DOC administratively adopted for use from 1971 to 1980. We find that the trial courts did not err in determining
that the block method of computation was required, and we therefore affirm.
