    For non violent offenders they should get a reduction in time they serve.

    It would only be logical to allow inmates the opportunity to become tax payers rather than us the tax payers. Hold any fault what so ever

    Waste of money to make mandatory 85% to low level non violent offenders such as white collar crimes..we are paying for them to be in jail and there's no reason for it, make them pay back Moore give them 65% mandatory

    You have individuals in prison for a dui that they committed years ago and they are getting 5-10 years. That's ridiculous! Pass the law in Arizona for 65% for those non violent offenders

    Its ridiculous how much time they are giving non violent crimes. A lot of people are getting drug charges they need a little help on getting them back on the right track not spending half there lives in prison. Some have family that care about them. They are getting more time than the ones that actually kill or molest people. Can someone step up and change this?

    Most people that are non-violent offenders are caught up in the drug culture. They need treatment and training to get them headed toward a productive life. The long prison sentences only insure that their lives will have to be lived on the fringes on society and perpetuate the revolving door of our prison system. Get them back out into society and preserve family ties by shortening the time of incarceration and help with employment opportunities that provide a living wage.

    My boyfriend was charged for attempted murder (5years) he never hurt any one. The victmin tried to rob him. He shot in the air and ran. The victmin never showed up to court. He missed all 8 court days. They offered my boyfriend 9 years with 2 strikes. 5 for the attemp 3 for the gun and enhancement with 85%. He has never been to jail. California system isn't fair. The victmin gave false Id and has a record of robbery home invasion and he's a gang member. Will he qualify for a lesser percent.
