Without A Doubt, The Answer Is Yes
If an inmate gets a shot, the colloquial term for an incident report after breaking a rule, they will lose their halfway house placement date.
Once an inmate has been given their halfway house placement date, it’s time more than ever to cut the crap and stay on their best behavior.
If you catch a shot, you will lose your halfway house date. If the shot is a 100 or 200 series shot, among the most serious kinds of incident reports you can receive, you will be placed in the Special Housing Unit (SHU), the halfway house date will be rescinded, and you may even lost up to 41 days of good time.
To explain what is happening on the halfway house side of things, after punishment for the incident report is over, inmates are put back in the same pool for halfway house placement they fought for in the first place. Securing placement in an open bed can take up to 90 days.
If an inmate is only Second Chance Act (SCA) eligible, they will likely get less halfway house time than they had before getting the shot. This is because halfway house time granted by the SCA is based on the Five-Factor Review. One of those factors is the inmate’s disciplinary record in prison. If that record gets worse, halfway house placement will decrease accordingly.
When you’re getting ready to go out the door, walk the line. Stop screwing around. You need to get home to your family.
