Summary
The bill would have the Indiana Department of Correction issue a certificate of eligibility for rehabilitative release to inmates who are at least 60 years old (or 62 for murder convictions) and have served 20 or 30 years respectively. With that certificate, the inmate could file a court petition to modify or reduce their sentence without needing the prosecutor’s consent, based on safety, rehabilitation, and justice considerations.
