    The good Lord judges us on an individual basis and administers punishment for our sins on an individual basis. So, these inmates should have the same opportunity to have their personal case(s), situations, and circumstances evaluated on an individual basis. The 85% mandate law is too much and it should be reduced. Please give those inmates who are worthy of it a second chance to prove themselves in society. My prayers are with you all.

    Let the sentencing fit the circumstances. All first time offenders should be considered individually. This serves justice.

    Sentencing should be on a case by case basis. All I ask is that they review each case on it's own merits.

    the amount of time given; is too harsh, some first time offender need a 2nd chance, especially if the crime was committed when they were young and immature.

    I truly believe if God can give a second chance why can't man kind do the same half of the time people are under the influence of drugs during the murder or behind money it's not acceptable for killing anyone but if there's someone higher than man who are we to make that judgment really

    Everyone should be given a second chance . 2nd chance for murderers should consist of allowing the offender to live the remainder of their life incarcerated. Taking another person's life is unacceptable

    My nephew was in the vacinity when a crime was committed. He was a first time offender and he is in for life. The actual perpetrator is already out. This makes no sense.
