BOP Program Statement 5885.01 § 8
CALCULATING DCEGT AWARDS
DSCC staff calculate and award DCEGT after verifying the D.C. Code offender’s eligibility in
accordance with this program statement. If D.C. Code offenders believe they meet the eligibility
requirements they may advise the Supervisor of Education (SOE) they are D.C. Code offenders
and request DCEGT via a BP-A0148, Inmate Request to Staff.
a. SOE Responsibilities. The SOE completes Part 1 of the BP-A0711, D.C. Educational Good
Time (DCEGT) form, certifying the D.C. Code offender’s:
■ successful completion of or withdrawal from a DCEGT designated program,
■ periods(s) of enrollment (specific dates), and
■ maximum allowed DCEGT for the program.
This form is only completed when a D.C. Code offender completes or withdraws from an eligible
program.
The SOE signs and dates the form. Education staff forward a scanned copy (in .pdf format) to
DSCC staff via email, with a copy to the local Correctional Systems staff, within three working
days.
b. DSCC Staff Responsibilities. Upon receiving the BP-A0711, DSCC staff complete Part 2
by:
■ certifying the D.C. Code offender’s discipline status while enrolled in the program using the
applicable Bureau inmate management system’s chronological disciplinary record,
■ calculating and awarding the authorized amount of DCEGT, including updates in the
applicable Bureau inmate management system, and
■ filing the applicable Bureau inmate management system’s chronological disciplinary record
and the BP-A0711 in the D.C. Code offender’s DSCC file.
