PRISON REFORM…PRISON REFORM…PRISON REFORM…PRISON REFORM…

We, the founders of Outside Plug LLC would like to extend our deepest gratitude to you for just taking the time out to read these unfortunate facts. Our purpose and mission is to aid and assist the incarcerated offenders with legal matters and information that is pertinent in preventing recidivism.

                                  Issue 1: We propose that the voices and efforts of the U.S. citizen supports the opportunity for offenders on the State and Federal level to earn up to 65% good time. At this present day and time, most State prisons only afford the opportunity to earn a small amount of good time and the Federal prison only affords approximately 54 days annually. 

      Issue 2 : We also propose that discretionary parole is available in all State and Federal 

                 prisons. Not having the opportunity to possibly receive discretionary parole destroys incentive and 

                 motivation for offenders. Rehabilitation is suppose to be a primary focus once incarcerated however,

                 without significant incentives, the progression of an offender is on a very small scale.

                                                 The First Step Act offered very little good time, only a small portion of funds were included                                  

                               the 2020 budget and no significant laws were made retroactive to help rehabilitate the already 

                               incarcerated.

                                                  The “War On Drugs” that is continuously administered by The Federal Government still targets 

                                 lower level offenders when ironically the abuse (i.e. opioid) stems from the drugs that are coming from the 

                                 pharmaceutical companies. Adjustments were made during the crack epidemic because in most

                                 cases minorities underwent social inequality. Today changes need to be made in our current laws 

                                 so that our society would have a just and fair criminal justice system.

                                                  OPLLC is suggesting a bill that turns into retroactive law(s) to enhance the rehabilitative process as well as provide meaningful incentives for offenders on both the State and Federal level. We welcome all supporters of prison reform and proactivity is very much needed.

                                                                                                                                       Sincerely,

                                                                                                                             The Outside Plug Team
