i feel as though this was right on the mark because its sad to see a 15 yr old child get charged as an adult as a first offender and get 24 yrs and when he get out everything has changed so much and he is programmed by prison and cant function in society and even with a 26 yr old in the same situation loses even more im all for this billSep 5th, 2016Someone from Indianapolis, IN signed.

Please reduce the 85% for 1st time offenders. Some men that are incarcerated have turned their lives around.REPORT COMMENTS

My husband is in jail now for a crime he didn't commit, the person who actually did the crime is out walking around while my husband has been in jail the past 11years. Its crazy because he shouldn't have done all the time he did plus still have time left. I think they should lower the minimum to at least 65% and let the first time offenders have a chance to show that they changed and if they get in trouble again the have them do the remainder of their time.REPORT COMMENTS

I know its hard to measure the level of a person's remorse about an act he or she committed in their youth, but for future generations' sake, these individuals must be given the opportunity to parent their own children. Reduce the harsh sentences of first time violent offenders.REPORT COMMENTS
