Summary
The bill lets people in state prisons earn one day off their sentence for each day served, provided they complete programs, follow rules, or provide service. It applies to most inmates, but limits credits for violent and drug‑related crimes and adds discretionary credits for those who have served at least 60 days. The goal is to encourage rehabilitation, reduce overcrowding, and address racial inequities in sentencing.
