These first time offenders need a second chance to make things right. To grow..for their families (husbands, wives, sons, daughters) & most importantly themselves! They have lost out on a lot of time that could of been better spent making memories with loved ones. Im sure I would hear back " they should of thought about that sooner!" But, if the ones making these decisions would just stop and think about it being their son, daughter, wife or husband wouldn't you want them to be able to be given a second chance to prove they can & will make a difference. I hope they keep their heart & mind open to the what it's & pass these bills.so yes, I fully support these bills & would be thrilled to see them pass.REPORT COMMENTS

I believe and stand firm on first time offenders should be given a second chance. When an offender has proven themselves while in prision that they can be a focused citizen while in prision by going to college to work on and recieving a degree, so they can be a better person when they are released, holding a job (or jobs) while in prision, and being an ideal inmate while in prision (staying focused and staying out of trouble). I agree the 85% sentencing should be reduced to 60%. It is only fair that everybody deserves a second chance at being able to prove themselves to being a better person.After all the government even said that prisions were over crowded and it also was costing them like crazy to house these people. Why not start here?REPORT COMMENTS

My boyfriend has been in jail for five years. I think that first time offenders should be given a second chance at life and to prove themselves. If they go back then the 85% should be served. Please reduce this percentage or pass this law. Please...REPORT COMMENTS
