The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“a statutory reward for a lack of conduct that is in violation of institutional rules. It is earned toward release on parole for felons, and does not diminish the fixed term or affect the date on which a felony offender will be discharged.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“(a) A person may, with respect to the same transaction, be deprived of any part of the credit time he has earned for any of the following: (1) A violation of one (1) or more rules of the department of correction. (2) If the person is not committed to the department, a violation of one (1) or more rules of the penal facility in which the person is imprisoned. (3) A violation of one (1) or more rules or conditions of a community transition program. (4) If a court determines that a civil claim brought by the person in a state or an administrative court is frivolous, unreasonable, or groundless. However, the violation of a condition of parole or probation may not be the basis for deprivation. Whenever a person is deprived of credit time, he may also be reassigned to Class II or Class III. (b) Before a person may be deprived of earned credit time, the person must be granted a hearing to determine his guilt or innocence and, if found guilty, whether deprivation of earned credit time is an appropriate disciplinary action for the violation. In connection with the hearing, the person is entitled to the procedural safeguards listed in section 4(c) of this chapter. The person may waive his right to the hearing. (c) Any part of the credit time of which a person is deprived under this section may be restored.”

It is earned toward release on parole for felons, and does not diminish the fixed term or affect the date on which a felony offender will be discharged.... A felon serving a sentence which was imposed under Ind. Code § 35-50-1-1 et seq. is released on parole ... after service of his fixed term less the credit time earned with respect to that term.... A felon sentenced under Ind.Code § 35-50-1-1 et seq. is on parole until the expiration of his fixed term, until discharged by action of the Indiana Parole Board, or for a period of one year, whichever event first occurs, unless the Indiana Parole Board revokes the parole.... [Tjhe legislative intent is clear that credit time is applied only toward the date of release on parole for felons and does not dimmish the fixed term.”
