2020 Senate Bill 1243

Revise prison time off for good behavior

Introduced in the Senate

Dec. 3, 2020

Introduced by Sen. Jeff Irwin (D-18)

To allow prisoners to earn from 5 to 15 days per year of time off their sentence for good behavior. This would restore an older "good time" system which was eliminated for certain violent felons by Proposal B of 1978, and subsequently eliminated for all felons by “truth in sentencing” provisions enacted in 1987.

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety
