Text
The general assembly hereby declares
that if any inmate does not demonstrate positive behavior during incarceration,
such inmate should be required to serve out the full sentence imposed upon such
inmate. If any inmate does demonstrate positive behavior during incarceration, such
inmate should be considered for release from incarceration prior to the end of the
full sentence imposed upon him. Therefore, the general assembly, in enacting this
part 4, intends to provide standards whereby any inmate can earn a reduction of
incarceration time and to provide incentives for inmates to demonstrate positive
behavior during incarceration.
