*The Pre-1994 Guidelines Policy estimates of time served are based on FY 1992-93 sentences to state prison, assuming 33% basic gain-time reduction and 25% incentive gain-time reduction of state prison sentences, and excluding offenses committed before 1/1/91. The estimates assume no early prison release through the control release program, used until December 1994 to reduce prison overcrowding.
**The 1994-95 Guidelines Policy estimates of time served are based on FY 1995-96 sentences to state prison, assuming 75% of sentence served for offenses committed between 1/1/94 and 9/30/95 and 85% of sentence served for offenses committed on or after 10/1/95.
