Inmates in Illinois, as long as they're not convicted of certain classes of crimes, earn day-for-day good time already. Meritorious good time was halted because of the political fallout for Governor Quinn when the MGT (Meritorious Good Time) push was discovered by the Associated Press.

Look for Meritorious Good Time to return after the November General Election.
