*The 10-20-life law has tied the hands of our judges in ruling on the circumstances of individual cases. *Increasing time served to 85% of the sentence from 65% has overwhelmingly increased the prison population. When inmates are taking advantage of programs or outside schooling, coupled with good behavior, they should be considered for earlier release.
*Parole has been abolished in Florida. Why? Again, overcrowding facilities and ruining chances of inmates who are willing to change their lives and become productive members of society. If they fail, THEN send them back for the full sentence.

end the 85 percent rule now. we are paying way to much to keep guys in there that have already served their time.
my brother has been locked up for 10 years and he is a totally different person now but they wont let him out. the 85 percent rule is breaking families apart. its time to let these guys come home and contribute to society.
Reduce and approved in this congressional session the reduction to 65%
