    I believe that inmates that have low crimes should be dropped to 65% and be given a second chance maybe be in some kind of house arrest or treatment..

    A repeat child molester can get a 2 year sentence for molestkng a child but a probation violation for a dirty urine will get all your time reinstated. How is that? It makes no sense. Change the laws or the way they are being handed out.

    I think they should change it to 65% to non- violent crimes. The jails & prisons are over crowded and tax payers are keeping them up. Also, there are non-violent criminals in jail or prison getting too long of a sentence when violent criminals hardly get anything!!! My opinion is it should be changed to 65%.

    we have so much over crowding in our prisons an jails for non violent crimes. I believe we are wasting tax payers money by housing ,feeding, an medical care for them. Geez the elderly dont get that much help.

    My man has been locked up in prison for 15 years serving a 28 year sentence where anyone was hurt. I will continue to Have Faith and Trust God that the forgotten will be remembered and set free from captivity. I do believe in consequences how ever the law in very unfair in most cases. For example we all are aware of the Trevon Trial when this man was acquitted for killing a teenager after being the aggressor the stand your ground law allowed this man to go free!! God Help Us!

    I believe all people should be treated fair. Depending on one's record ,some of our non-violent offenders or first time offender, should be given the oppertunity to work towards an early release.

    I agree young people are set up by real drug dealers who get off and sent to Jail to wait anywhere from 19 months to 2 years to start rehad because of overcrowding we need to reinstate prorole Isn" better ti get someone a chance rather than fill prisons and let the big dogs rat on dumb naïve people you are better off killing someone than to get caught selling meth one time the court are not interested in rehabilitation they are interested in their career they forget there are real people with real families there is no real justice or equality not fair at all you can do everything to change before going to court they don
