SB 76 Circumscribes Early Release For Some Prisoners

The same day that Governor Schwarzenegger signed SB 1399, authorizing the early release of physically incapacitated inmates, he also signed SB 76, a measure to reduce the number of some inmates eligible for early release.

In response to complaints from proponents, who are concerned for public safety, SB 76 further limits how quickly certain inmates can earn release for good behavior.  The early release credits have been decreased from one-half to one-third, for prisoners serving time for misdemeanors.
