Post-Conviction Relief for Certain Offenders

Summary

The law lets people aged 60 or older who have been in prison for at least 20 years file a petition to have their sentence reconsidered. It applies only to certain crimes and guarantees a public hearing, legal representation, and victim participation. The goal is to reduce costs and address the low public‑safety risk of elderly, long‑term inmates.
