Re: Jail ''good time'' credit
Yes. For example, see Minnesota Statutes Sectoin 244.04 "Good Time," and related Minnesota Rules for the Minnesota Department of Corrections.
Minn Stat Section 244.04 link, here:

Note that different legal bases may apply for non-felony convictions, but good time reductions for misdemeanor sentences of over ten days could also be taken away for violations.
