SF1366 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))
Minnesota Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act earned incentive credits revocation by the commissioner of corrections authorization provision
Related bill: HF963
AI Generated Summary
This bill proposes to change the rules regarding earned incentive release credits for prisoners in Minnesota. Currently, prisoners can earn credits for good behavior, which can reduce their time in prison by up to 17% of their total sentence. However, under the existing law, once these credits are earned, they cannot be taken away.
The bill aims to amend this by allowing the Commissioner of Corrections to revoke these credits if the prisoner breaks the rules of the prison or commits another crime while incarcerated. Essentially, this bill would make good behavior credits reversible based on new offenses or rule violations by the incarcerated individual.
