39- 1

944.275(4)(f) reads “currently serving a sentence for or
has been previously convicted,” This implies retroactivity,
how is this legal???It seems to me that registered citizens can still get gain
time, UNLESS their offense is covered in 907.041 or944.275(4)(f), AND they still serve 85% of their sentence.

Registered citizens are excluded from enjoying
administrative probation.
