State v. Allensworth
Annotate this CaseDefendant received suspended sentences for drug offenses and two years of probation. He was incarcerated after his probation was revoked. At issue on appeal was whether an offender accrues earned time under Iowa Code 903A.2 while on supervised probation before his incarceration. Defendant contended the Iowa Department of Corrections (IDOC) erroneously withheld his earned-time credit for the probationary period. IDOC argued earned-time credits are only earned while the offender is incarcerated. The district court denied earned-time credit for the time Defendant spent on supervised probation. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not err in ruling IDOC correctly calculated Defendant's discharge date because earned-time credits are only earned while the offender is incarcerated.
