Opinion

Affirmed. See Williams v. Wasi, 681 So. 2d 839, 840 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996) (“We find no merit in his distinction between basic gain-time and incentive gain-time, holding that both may be subject to forfeiture by the DOC pursuant to section 944.28(1), Florida Statutes ․ Further, the Legislature specifically refers to all earned gain-time, whether basic or incentive, as a right—one that is granted as a matter of grace and is not automatically retained, but is subject to forfeiture.”); Waldrup v. Dugger, 562 So. 2d 687, 689 (Fla. 1990) (noting a “basic gain-time award was subject to forfeiture for unacceptable conduct”); Singletary v. Jones, 681 So. 2d 836, 837 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996) (“[I]nmates receive a lump sum award of all basic gain time to which they may be entitled throughout the full term of their sentences upon entering the prison system. This gain time is earned when so credited, and is thereafter subject to earned gain time forfeiture.”).
