Good behavior could lead to a reduction in sanctions.

The harsh penalty imposed also could be reduced with good behavior.

Still officials said, most of the transferred prisoners are showing a decline in disciplinary points on their records, which means “they’re engaging in programming options and have generally good behavior.”
