The Michigan Department of Corrections defines escapees as the following:
Unlike federal prisons, incarcerated people in Michigan state prisons are required to serve their minimum sentence and cannot earn credits for good behavior unless their crime was committed before 1987.
Michigan’s Truth in Sentencing law was established in 1998 and eliminated good time credits. Now, incarcerated people must serve their entire minimum sentence before they can be considered for parole.
According to the the Liberty and Justice For All Coalition, 16 states enacted the truth-in-sentencing guidelines from 1994 to 1998 to receive incentives from the federal government. The incentives ended in 2000. Ten of the 16 states have less-restrictive sentencing guidelines.
