In re Davis CA2/7
A person serving a term in state prison ordinarily may earn one day of “worktime credit” for each day he or she participates in a qualifying work or training program, making it possible to reduce the term of incarceration by up to 50 percent. (In re Pope (2010) 50 Cal.4th 777, 779.) Penal Code section 2933.1, however, limits such credit to 15 percent of the prison term for any person convicted of a qualifying violent felony, which under section 667.5, subdivision (c), incudes “[a]ny felony in which the defendant inflicts great bodily injury . . . which has been charged and proved as provided for in Section 12022.7.”
