Earned-Time Allowance Program administered by Mississippi Department of Corrections; discontinue.

SB 2237 ends Mississippi's Earned-Time Allowance Program, which allowed some inmates to reduce their sentences through good behavior or work. Effective July 1, 2025, offenders previously under this program will be transferred to the Division of Community Corrections for supervision, using the same rules as probation or parole. This change affects inmates who were eligible for earned-time releases and will now be monitored under community supervision instead of direct Department of Corrections oversight. The bill updates multiple state laws to formalize this transfer of responsibility.
