Criminal Rehabilitation

Summary

HB 297 sought to revise Florida's Criminal Punishment Code by making offender rehabilitation a primary sentencing goal and cutting the mandatory minimum time served from 85% to 72% of a sentence. It would also create a system of outstanding‑deed gain‑time, good‑behavior time, and rehabilitation credits to reward inmates for positive conduct. The measure was withdrawn before it was formally introduced.
