Sentence Reductions May Be Available
House Bill 387 became law on July 1, 2018. The new law has many new components that are designed to assist the less fortunate and those impoverished to prevent continual incarceration when simply unable to pay off a fine, restitution or court costs. Another important component is that inmates will be eligible for parole when not convicted of a violent crime, drug trafficking, or as a habitual offender.
