Article 70 Earned remission of sentenceI1

The commandant may for good conduct award a detainee serving a sentence of more than ninety days of service detention remission of his sentence (additional to remission under rule 8) to a maximum of one-sixth of the period of his sentence in excess of ninety days.

In paragraph (1) the reference to a sentence of more than ninety days of service detention is a reference to the period of service detention which the detainee would apart from this rule and rule 8 be required to serve, including any additional period of service detention which he would be required to serve in accordance with rules 51 and 52.

For the purposes of calculating the period of maximum remission under paragraph (1), a fraction of a day shall be ignored.

In deciding what, if any, award of remission to make, the commandant shall have regard to the reports provided under paragraph (5) by the detainee’s company commander.

The detainee’s company commander shall provide to the commandant a report on the detainee’s conduct during each seven days of his detention, except for the period of fourteen days beginning with the date of the detainee’s arrival at MCTC.
