Inmates get 90 credits for jail diplomas
Beginning November 1, 2025, inmates who finish a high school diploma or equivalency while in continuous county‑jail custody earn 90 credits. The credits are awarded at sentencing and transfer to the Department of Corrections. Custody must be for the same case that led to the prison term. The jail must record completion and the certification date on the official jail sentence form that goes with the inmate. Under the earned‑credit system, each credit equals one day off the sentence.
