The recently updated truth in sentencing terms in Nevada have different implications for prisoners depending on whether they have good time credits or not.

1. A prisoner without good time credits can now cut time off from their sentence: This means that if a prisoner behaves well and follows the rules while in prison, they can earn credits that reduce their overall sentence length.

2. A prisoner with good time credits can now cut time off from the high end of a sentence: This implies that if a prisoner has already earned good time credits, they can use those credits to reduce the maximum length of their sentence.

3. A prisoner with good time credits can now cut time off from the low end of their sentence: This suggests that if a prisoner has already earned good time credits, they can use those credits to reduce the minimum length of their sentence.

4. A prisoner with or without good time credits can no longer cut any time off of their sentence: This means that regardless of whether a prisoner has earned good time credits or not, they will no longer be able to reduce any part of their sentence through credits or other means.

It is important to note that these are general interpretations and the specific impact on an individual prisoner's sentence may vary based on the details of their case and the new truth in sentencing terms.
