Jail Inmate-Frivolous Lawsuit

Abstract

Amends the County Jail Good Behavior Allowance Act. Provides that if a lawsuit is filed by a person confined in a county jail, whether serving a term of imprisonment or confined pending trial or sentencing, against the sheriff or county, or against any of their officers or employees, and the court makes a specific finding that a pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the prisoner is frivolous, the warden may revoke up to 180 days of good behavior allowance under the Act. Provides that if the person has not accumulated 180 days of good behavior allowance at the time of the finding, then the warden may revoke all of the good behavior allowance accumulated by the prisoner. Defines "frivolous" and "lawsuit".
