Summary

Under existing law, gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated is the unlawful killing of a human being without malice aforethought, in the driving of a vehicle while intoxicated and with gross negligence. Under existing law, gross vehicular manslaughter is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for 4, 6, or 10 years. Existing law requires a prisoner to be awarded credit reductions from his or her term of confinement of 6 months for every 6 months of continuous confinement. Under existing law, for each 4-day period in which a prisoner is confined in or committed to a county or city jail, industrial farm, or road camp, one day is deducted from his or her period of confinement unless it appears by the record that the prisoner has refused to satisfactorily perform labor as assigned, and one day is deducted unless the prisoner has not satisfactorily complied with the reasonable rules and regulations. The California Constitution grants the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation the authority to award credits earned for good behavior and approved rehabilitative or educational achievements. This bill would prohibit a person who is convicted of gross vehicular manslaughter from accruing more than 15% of these credits.
