The other New England states, as well as 38 other states, in addition to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, utilize earned credits using their agency%u2019s values concerning inmate accountability, community reintegration, emphasis on treatment and programs for offenders, and, in some states, recognition of the difference between violent and nonviolent offenses.

We the undersigned would like to inform you of our strong dissatisfaction that E-Cert Bill 6602 %u201CEarned credit and risk reduction that grant sentence reduction credits based on good behavior and participation in work, educational, vocational, therapeutic or other programs while a person is incarcerated or being supervised in the community%u201D was not even considered during the regular session for the budget. I am urging you to consider this bill as soon as possible in the budgetary session. According to the 4.1.09 report from the DOC, a possible 40 MILLION Dollar savings could be seen in the first year.

My sweet heart is in Osborn,CT and has been doing what he is supposed to do since he has been there. We are all hoping and praying that this passes to save money and those who have earned to come home can. We are wasting money on those who don't need to be there and should be on probation or parole.

The stare could eliminate room if they emphasis on treatment and programs for petty drug offenders, make them pay a fine and also open facilites for the drug user and pushers.Reconize the difference between violent and nonviolent offenses.There are a lot of people in jail for something stupid and petty/ They should be punish but in other ways. If you murder or harm voilent rape in d steal or any voilent crime yes you should go to jail for a long time.

Bring Back Parole, Earned Credit and Risk Reduction for Good time Behavior. The jails are over crowded, the prisons are still being built while other prisons are being shut down because of "no funds." The inmates are sitting in jail waiting to be placed into the DOC Prisons, but they are over crowded or don't have the money to fund them, so the inmates have to just sit and take whatever comes their way. It's not fair and it's against the law, because inmates have a constitutional right to rehabilitation and they can't get that while they are sitting in jail. Also the DOC has 60-90 days tops to move the inmates from jail to DOC prisons, but DOC is not doing it because of the extreme number of prisoners already. Jails were designed with short term incarceration in mind, whereas prisons were designed for long term incarceration. It's a inmates right to be transfered.....the DOC and jails aren't even obeying the laws and there is nothing inmates can do about it.......BRING BACK Earned Credit and Risk Reduction for Good time Behavior PLEASE>

I don't believe keeping someone in prison for a long time unless it is murder sex offense but just for a fight that was both parties fault they should have a second chance

I believe in second chances we need more education helping these people that got into their circumstance in the first place I think to many people locked up are their based on either drug problems or drug dealings so I hope u will make the right choice in helping some of these people rather than locking them up and thinking thats the answer because it's definitely not the answer. Second Chances,help,and not throwing away the key on an individual who could of became a somebody rather a nothing.

We all KNOW that a reward system works! And OH Yeah it can also save the state tons of money. Where are all the decisive people when you need them? Is everyone too busy thinking I don't want it to be my responsibility? We should not be writing people off so easily. They can and will want to change with proper motivation and incentives. But if we give them nothing...what do we get when they do eventually return to society?

Give an incentive for those who are trying to get their life back together again. A month, 2 months or even six months might not seem like much to us, but it is incredible to someone who has not hugged or held their child in that time. Give them a chance to start their life again.

If an inmate has done everything that was required of him or her, they should be allowed Good Time. The system must make available these courses in order for them to achieve Good Time. It is not easy for an inmate to get these courses in a timely manner. The system needs to provide, often, more of these courses.
