no, truth-in-sentencing requires inmates to spend at least 85-90% of the time sentenced given in the courtroom by the judge. This has improved crime rates in VA as a whole. Also a better use of the prison beds/space/money spent keeping more violent offenders in prison for most of the duration of their sentence. Rather than them getting out early just to commit more crimes.
