LOGIN NOW REQUIRED Truth In Sentencing
April 15, 2020 - 6:00pm
Michigan still utilizes Truth in Sentencing, meaning anyone convicted of a felony is required to serve 100% of their minimum sentence. The vast majority of other states have a good time or earned time credit system that allows those currently incarcerated to reduce their sentences by participating in different educational and vocational programs. This virtual town hall will feature a panel of Michigan legislators, including Senator Sylvia Santana and Senator Jeff Irwin, to take questions and comments from their constituents on the issue.
Attendees are required to register for the Zoom meeting. You may submit questions on the RSVP form in advance for the panelists. Let your voices be heard!
