    I think this is the right thing to do give them another chance at life while they still have life, a lot of inmates have done more than enough suffering, people can learn from there mistakes.

    When we send young adults to prison it is like send military trainees to basic training. The Parole Boards have the training/expertise to determine which inmates are ready to be released. We sent up the prison system and have yet to get it right.

    I truly support this bill and concur that inmates should be given the option of early release upon the actions of their lifestyle changes while being incarcerated. A second chance for first time violent offenders once their actions have proven themselves to lead healthy and productive lives once free. Please reduce this 85% mandatory law.
