Later courts went against this
Superseded by statute, as recognized in People v. Brunner

The opinion
*510 CLARK, J., Concurring and Dissenting.
I concur in the judgment and opinion of the court except insofar as the rule announced today is given retroactive effect. The purpose of conduct credit is to foster good behavior and satisfactory work performance. (People v. Saffell (1979) 25 Cal.3d 223, 233 [ 157 Cal.Rptr. 897 , 599 P.2d 92 ].) That purpose will not be served by granting such credit retroactively.
Richardson, J., and Manuel, J., concurred.
